Environment committee  Yes.

Public Safety committee  It happens in-house. What I could explain is that once the committee has completed its work on the bill, if there have been amendments from the floor or slight modifications that the committee has made, we need to process those, have them translated as necessary. Any amendments that were adopted by the committee have to be assembled in the report.

Public Safety committee  This is in the nature of advice offered to the chair. Our rules and practices provide that an amendment is not procedurally admissible if it goes beyond the scope of the bill as it was adopted by the House at second reading. The bill provides in proposed section 79 an appeal “only if the judge certifies that a serious question of general importance is involved”.

Public Safety committee  I don't have any authority to do that.

Public Safety committee  Perhaps it would be of assistance to the committee if each of these instances were to be flagged as we progress through the bill, so that everyone would know where the change was to be made. In that way, if I were to miss one....

Public Safety committee  If I understand correctly, this is to replace the word "défenseur" with "avocat spécial" everywhere the term appears in the bill.

Public Safety committee  As I told the Chair, this is not the kind of language we see every day. Ordinarily, amendments are drafted in relation to a specific clause and the lines that are to be amended in the clause in question. I do not want to say that the committee cannot approve a change like this, but it has to be understood that someone outside the committee will have to be given the authority to make those changes.

Natural Resources committee  (3) The appeal is to be heard on the basis of the record of the panel whose decision is appealed, and on the submissions of interested parties. The panel hearing the appeal may, if in its opinion it is essential in the interests of justice to do so, admit additional evidence or testimony.

Natural Resources committee  The purpose of the amendment is to delete the words “in exceptional circumstances”. It takes out the words “in exceptional circumstances”. That's at lines 32 and 33 of the French version. I'm going to read the text. Que le projet de loi C-5, à l'article 56, soit modifié par substitution, aux lignes 32 et 33, page 15, de ce qui suit: « elle peut toutefois recevoir de nouveaux éléments» That Bill C-5 in clause 56 be amended by replacing lines 30 and 31 on page 15 with the following: parties.

Natural Resources committee  That Bill C-5, in Clause 37, be amended by replacing line 8 on page 12 with the following: Canada Gazette and in a newspaper in general circulation in each province and territory of Canada or, if the nuclear incident occurs outside of Canada, in a newspaper in general circulation throughout Canada.

Natural Resources committee  This is subclause 23(1). It would read: An operator shall maintain, for each of the operator’s nuclear installations that contains nuclear material, or for each reactor, if in the case of a nuclear installation that generates electricity, financial security in the amount referred to in subsection 21(1) Then it would continue.

Bill C-30 (39th Parliament, 1st Session) committee  As the chairman mentioned, Mr. Jean proposed an amendment which seeks to add a few words. That amendment is currently before the committee and it is up to the members to decide, by unanimous consent, to withdraw those words. However, Mr. Cullen moved a subamendment, precisely in order to delete the words “after consulting with affected provinces, territories and first nations”.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you. That Bill C-31, in clause 21, be amended by adding after line 24 on page 8 the following: (2.2) For the purposes of paragraph 2(b), a document issued by the Government of Canada that certifies that a person is registered as an Indian under the Indian Act constitutes an authorized piece of identification.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  With the subamendment incorporated, then?

Procedure and House Affairs committee  It reads: That Bill C-31, in clause 21, be amended by adding after line 24 on page 8 the following: (2.2) For the purposes of paragraph 2(b), a document issued by the Government of Canada that certifies that a person is registered as an Indian under the Indian Act constitutes an authorized piece of identification.
