Thank you, Chair.
This one is that clause 50 be amended by adding after line 39 on page 26 the following:
(4.1) Section 75 of the Act is amended by adding the following after subsection (1):
( 1.1) Despite subsection (1 ), the Governor in Council may not make regulations that would restrict the use of harvested material by a farmer under subsection 5.3(2) by
(a) excluding a particular plant variety from the application of that subsection;
(b) establishing limits on a farmer's use of harvested material, such as saving, treating, exchanging, conditioning and storing such material; or
(c) establishing limits on the proportion of harvested material that may be kept by a farmer on an annual basis.
Once again it's coming back and making sure that we reinforce the fact that this is a right and not just a privilege, and the fact that it cannot be taken away by regulation. It comes from the stuff we've heard from stakeholders and from witnesses here at committee.
