I move that clause 22 of Bill C-43 be amended by replacing line 25 on page 7 with the following:
tions on the person, taking into account their needs and public safety.
The comment that I made on the previous amendment would apply to this particular amendment. If you would like, I could repeat it.

I have that same question. The word “their” in this case I'm assuming applies to the permanent resident or foreign national, rather than the office, right?

I just want to be clear. The mover understands we are talking about individuals who are inadmissible based on the grounds of security.

Yes, I do understand that. There are certain conditions or situations that this amendment would take into consideration, and I think there is some merit for that. That's the reason we moved the amendment.

Chair, I want to ask whether people want me to read this into the record. Shall I read it in, or did you not want it read?

If you say nothing, I'll deem it to have been read in.
