Thank you, Madam Chairperson. The draft is written with parent referred to in the singular, and in that style, it means both parents, generally. In the context of this particular provision, the word natural parent is modified by the remainder of the paragraph and it would be the natural parent about whom the person is seeking information. If the person
was seeking information about their mother and if that mother did not consent, then I think the registrar would have a problem disclosing it.
