The Ontario Bar Association (“OBA”) appreciates the invitation to consult on the proposed changes to the Rules of Professional Conduct. We are pleased with the work that has been done to address the issues raised by the Canadian Bar Association (“CBA”) on the Federation of Law Societies’ Model Code of Professional Conduct. The OBA endorses the CBA’s comments on those general issues and we do not propose to cover the same ground in this submission. We have instead provided narrow comments that relate to a distinct practice area.
