I move the amendment.
Perhaps staff would like to comment on those changes. It's only paragraph 284(b) there.

Clause 284 is the record-keeping requirement for the director appointed under the act. In particular, it says that documents have to be kept for six years, with a short list of exceptions. This amendment lengthens the list of exceptions of what has to be kept for more than six years. It's based on the Canadian Bar Association's comments. It includes all notices of the appointment or removal of directors, all bylaws and bylaw amendments, and the most recent notice for the location of the registered office if there hasn't been a notice in six years. That's simply so we have the documents to prove what we received, if necessary, and can produce them.

It's the same issue as the last housekeeping one. Paragraph 294(f) has a list of all the exemptions. We have to add the new exemption that was created in clause 161.
