The issue of referral should be left to the colleges, to the provinces, as something that needs to be regulated, As I'm a lawyer, if an issue comes before me in my firm, something that I object to on any level, I can refuse to take that client. It's my job to refer an individual to a next step. That's done through a self-regulating body, the Law Society of Upper Canada, through legislation from the province.
I would like to get the department's analysis on this section, please.
