I'll take that. I'll ask the next question.
Historically, the AG's consent provided a supervisory safeguard, ensuring that hate propagation charges met the public interest and reasonable prospect test. Why was that safeguard removed in Bill C-9? What mechanism now replaces that oversight? Did provincial attorneys general express support for removing this? If so, in which jurisdiction was that?
Without the AG's consent, how will the department prevent inconsistent or politically influenced prosecution at the municipal or police service level?
