Ainsi, je crois que, sur le plan juridique, la secrétaire parlementaire a parfaitement raison de dire que le processus de consultation deviendrait quelque peu bidon, quelque peu vide de sens, et que sa légitimité pourrait s'en trouver compromise.
In view of that, I think legally the point made by the parliamentary secretary is correct, that it makes the consultation process somewhat false, somewhat hollow, and could undermine the legitimacy with which those consultations are being carried out.
