The following discussion guides provide background on specific topics, raise some of the issues with the current Act and describe what happens in some other jurisdictions. If you do not see an issue that is important to you in the papers, the project team would especially like to hear about it.
You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view the discussion guides. If you don't have the free Acrobat software installed on your computer, you can download it here.
