On the issue of “10 clear days”, “seven clear days” or “15 clear days”, I'm just wondering whether we need to introduce the concept of “clear days” at all. I wonder whether it would make better sense to an individual, for plain language reasons, to know how many days the reflection period is.
As you know, determining clear days requires looking at the Interpretation Act and figuring out whether there's a holiday or a Sunday, or whatever. I'm just wondering why, with a patient who's suffering this kind of pain, we should care about things like “clear days”. I think it complicates it unduly. I would be prepared to suggest “10 days”, which may not be that different from “seven clear days”, and provide some much needed certainty in this area.
