Unfortunately, our timelines are short. What would be helpful for this committee is if the Bar Association could provide the committee with an opinion to that effect, or some information specifically outlining this because we don't have a lot of detail on what constitutes the code of conduct. That's one of my concerns in perpetuating the system as it is right now.
The other component that I'm looking at was on the point that you made about somebody thinking that they're receiving a government agent because now the government is taking more direct oversight of the profession. I think that is interesting and valid. I also really didn't get much of an answer from department officials on any sort of liability that the government could be undertaking given now that they are overseeing this profession. Do you have any opinions on that? Given that immigration law is one of the most highly litigated fields in Canada, how would legislators go about trying to actually analyze that and then comparing it to the current structure, as to whether or not the government should actually be getting into this business?
