Merci.
I want to let members know that they have been given a copy of the proposed change from Mr. Gourde and Mr. Trottier. I want to make sure that we're all aware of that.
I further want to indicate that if this change is to be adopted by the committee, it is simply by a negativing of the preamble. In other words, the paragraph that begins with “Her Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate and House of Commons of Canada enacts as follows” is not considered part of the preamble. If the preamble is struck, that paragraph will remain in the bill.
I am talking about the paragraph that begins with "Now, therefore, Her Majesty".
