The protocol has always been a broad-based consensus amongst those who have invested a great deal of time and resources into the process. That's the judiciary, the Canadian Bar Association's branches, the law societies, and also the ministers of justice or attorneys general in each province.
We were not consulted on this matter in a timely or meaningful manner. That is unfortunate, because we had some ideas and I think we could have brought a perspective to the process before the decision was announced.
