The CBA supports the process that has been set out in Bill C-9 because, in part, of the depth of consultation of the affected parties that it has undergone. While it's an interesting concept, the purpose of Bill C-9 is to remove levels of procedural duplication and to ensure that the core fundamentals of administrative fairness are met. We believe that that is the case with Bill C-9.
