I was telling Mr. Perkins that clause 15 of Bill C‑27 will probably need to be amended. Section 6.1 of the current act sets out certain requirements for consent to be considered valid, including the notion that the person giving consent must be able to understand the purposes and consequences of disclosing the information. This terminology does not exist in Bill C‑27 and I believe it would be much better to retain the current wording.
