Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My understanding of the regulatory process here is that if there is any concern by any member of the public, they can raise that concern. Certainly, any member of Parliament can raise that concern and it would then be referred to the scrutiny of regulations committee. So in any situation that Mr. Casey might be concerned about, he or any member of the public could apply to have that dealt with by the scrutiny of regulations committee.
If there were a situation where someone thought that the government of the day was overreaching its legislative authority by incorporating something by reference, presumably that would then go before the scrutiny of regulations committee.
Secondly, it's my understanding that there aren't any regulations under the Criminal Code, so that is not a situation where the Criminal Code of Canada would be amended by an incorporation by reference to another statute, or a standard that is developed by another body.
My first question to you has to do with accessibility. Bill S-2 imposes an obligation on the regulation-making authority to ensure that a document, index rate, number, or whatever it is that's incorporated by reference, is accessible, but it doesn't provide a definition of “accessible”. What, in your opinion, is meant by the term “accessible”? Perhaps you could give us some examples of that.
