On the issue of parental consultation, we have very little evidence. Few people can come and testify about what they do in such cases, because it's not allowed here. Only two countries allow the practice.
Based on what both of you are telling us, unlike the Netherlands, if we were to move forward in Canada, it would not be a matter of defining an age where parents would have veto power, for example, when the child is age 12 to 16, and taking away that right when the child is age 16 to 18. It's simply a matter of establishing decisional capacity. Would that be the case even between the ages of 12 and 16?
