I want to thank my colleague for his comments. I know in my practice as a lawyer over many years, contractual terms are often an issue of confusion, even amongst lawyers. So I wonder if the member can comment on the provisions in this legislation, if passed, and how that would impact standardized contract terms to make it clearer to both the consumer and the business what the terms of the contract are, what the level of enforcement is and how they will move forward.

With regard to contractual disclosure—I’m sure that all members of this House have experienced something similar, and people in Essex county have talked to me about the same thing. When they’re presented with a contract, frequently, it’s a very standard contract, such as a car rental contract, and yet the provisions of the contract are buried in fine print and not readily disclosed at the top. Since you’re in something of a hurry and you think it’s a very standard form contract, you have a tendency to sign it and move on with your life. This particular legislation proposes that such contracts will be required to highlight the main provisions—at least the main provisions—so that people in situations like that will have at least the highlighted main provisions of the contract before they sign, so that they know what the main provisions are before they sign.

I invite the member to express an opinion about that. Does she think that’s going to help some of the constituents in her riding?
