Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses. This has been extremely helpful for all of us. Thank you to many of you for your considerable work on this subject. To be totally honest, many of us are coming into this with fresh eyes. Your years of work and considerable effort on this are really helpful.
I have a question for Professor Gunn, first. It does come back to the framing of free, prior and informed consent as a veto. I think the word veto has a definition. Perhaps free, prior and informed consent might be a little bit more ambiguous. I'm really concerned with the conflation of those two. I would love a little bit more insight on that.
Since I will probably just ask one question, could you provide a little bit of insight on participation and the ability to say no. I believe that full participation includes the ability to say no.
Thank you.
