The biggest problem with your request is that our proposal was not at all going in that direction. In fact, we were proposing that the act be repealed and replaced by a new one with a completely different approach. We have never held public consultations, and it would be very difficult for us to gauge what would be acceptable for Canadians with one point of view or another.
When we review legislation, we do not start by proposing things. Otherwise, the people with whom we are consulting will feel that decisions have already been made or are about to be made. When we hold consultations, we do so by themes, and we want to hear what people have to say about them. Then we make a recommendation. If, at the outset, our experts provide the answer they want, you can bet that the consultation will not be well received.
