(a) striking out "represented person" wherever it occurs in clauses (1) and (2) and by substituting "person in respect of whom the application is made";

(b) repealing clauses (1)(a)(ii) and by substituting the following:

(ii) will act, in accordance with this Act, on behalf of the person in respect of whom the application is made;

(c) striking out "person who is the subject of the application" in clause (1)(a)(iv) and by substituting "person in respect of whom the application is made";

(d) adding the following after clause (1):

(1.1) When appointing a guardian, the court shall give special consideration to

(a) the existence and closeness of the family relationship, if any, between the person proposed as guardian and the person in respect of whom the application is made; and

(b) the wishes of the person in respect of whom the application is made, if they can be ascertained.

(e) striking out clause (3) and by substituting the following:

(3) The court may require a person proposed as guardian to attend and answer questions relating to the requirements of paragraph (1)(a) and to the matters referred to in subsection (1.1).
