In your first explanation, you said that before the obligatory portion of the legislation would take effect, they would have an opportunity. For how long a period of time, then, do we have this opportunity out there before it becomes obligatory? So unless some of these things are more clearly spelled out....
Are there any other questions on that? Are we ready for the question? All in favour of amendment NDP-1?
(Amendment negatived)
Shall clause 1 carry?
(Clause 1 agreed to)
(On clause 2)
For clause 2, you have received the government amendment.
I am instructed by our legislative clerk here that we will deal with that one first, because if that one took effect, yours would not. The NDP clause would be redundant or it would be blocked out.
If you want to explain that....
