Absolutely. I think the level of consultation that we have is insufficient and inadequate. We should be having much more significant information from the government about what they're looking for, and we should have proposals from the government to have more meaningful consultation. You can have consultation, and you can have meaningful consultation. I think we have some consultation, but we don't have meaningful consultation. We should be engaging more with members of Parliament, members of this committee and the provinces about the process—and with civil society groups as well. That's one of the factors that would be taken up by strategic advisory groups, but not the only one.
I think there should be more, not less. It's essential for the government to do that, because we are in a battle and we need to consult with Canadians more because of the battle, not less.
