I'll try to be. There are many points in there; I'll try, though.
Under this bill, the government is proposing to amend the Statutory Instruments Act precisely because section 3 of that act is always relevant and that it also applies to documents that are incorporated by reference.
Of course, at the same time, section 3 deals with the limit of the power of regulations and documents that are incorporated by reference, as well as with Charter obligations. Documents incorporated by reference, just like the regulations into which they are incorporated, must be submitted to those tests. You are quite right to mention that.
As for the Standing Joint Committee on Scrutiny of Regulations, it is possible that members do not agree with the direction of Bill S-2. However, as I understand it, they do agree that dynamic incorporation by reference should henceforth be expressly authorized.
I believe that they would like dynamic incorporation to be limited to Canadian provincial legislation. That is a question of direction, but I feel that they do agree that, in legal terms, if Bill S-2 becomes law, that part of the issue will be solved.
