That would be my interpretation, but it does speak to standards more broadly. Just to reinforce what my colleague from the Department of Justice spoke so eloquently to, “consultation” and “co-operation” are known terms. They are found in this draft bill several times. The term “consent” is, I would say, to my knowledge an unknown term. I don't understand the litmus test of consent, and I'd be concerned, on implementation of the bill, that there is language to both consult and co-operate and to receive consent.
