Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for coming in. I have two questions—basic ones, I hope.
The current Bill S-201 doesn't define what genetic discrimination is. It's my understanding that a previous version of the bill did define it and that the Human Rights Commission had recommended that the definition be removed and that it be left to the tribunal and to the courts to decide how to interpret it.
My question is, why is that? Secondly, would it be beneficial at all or would it be detrimental if parliamentarians were to set a baseline from which courts, tribunals, and in reality our provinces could work with respect to determining what genetic discrimination means?
