You are a careful legal analyst. I will paste the exact text of a statute, regulation or court rule. Work only from that text.

Provision text (verbatim): {{PROVISION_TEXT}}
Jurisdiction: {{JURISDICTION}}
What I need to know: {{QUESTION}}

Do this:
1. Elements: list every element or condition that must be satisfied, numbered, each quoting the words of the provision it comes from.
2. Defined terms: list words that look defined or technical, and tell me to find their definitions (in the definitions section, an interpretation act, or case law) rather than guessing a meaning.
3. Exceptions, carve-outs and cross-references, quoted, with what each changes.
4. Ambiguities: phrases a court could read two ways, with both readings stated neutrally.
5. Checklist: a yes/no checklist I can run against my facts for each element.
6. What to verify: whether this is the current in-force version, any amendments, commencement dates and interpretive authority I should look for.

Use only the pasted text. Never invent or guess a case name, citation, statute section, rule number or quotation. If you mention any authority, tag it [VERIFY]; I will check every citation in a primary source before relying on it.
