Sure, and thank you for that question.
We would agree with the response of Mr. Dachis. On consultation with respect to the specific provisions that are brought into this BIA, there was absolutely none. We think it's very important that consultation happen, not only at a higher level, on which there is broad public consultation, but also, as I think all the witnesses agree, by bringing in a variety of experts.
We've heard witnesses with us here today speak about trade law, franchise law and employment law, but there has been no consultation with the businesses themselves. Not only do we see a need to consult on the broader issues, but the devil is in the details with much of this legislation, so it's very important to also consult on the wording. As Ms. Bednar mentioned, it's also when you get into implementation that you need to ensure that you look at that quite closely.
