Thank you.
Justice Lamer identified in his report the utility of having in statute a guaranteed prescribed mechanism for reviewing those provisions of the act. That is obviously meant to ensure that the system keeps pace with changes in the Canadian law generally and continues to meet the obligation to respect the rights of its members.
Putting those aspects in the actual act, as opposed to in Bill C-25, as they currently are, would elevate their visibility. Prescribing them with greater clarity would ensure that there was no doubt as to what the left and right of arc was, in terms of what should be reviewed. Prescribing an appropriate length of time or cycle for the review would enhance the utility of that review by ensuring there was an appropriate track record of actual practice to review, so when issues came before Parliament one could speak to them with that record of practice in mind.
