Thank you, Chair.
This is the one that you were interested in, Mr. Eyking.
Again, this one modifies Bill C-18 in clause 5, with it to be amended by (a) replacing line 2 on page 5 with the following:
Act, the holder of the plant
It is also amended by (b) replacing line 5 on page 6 with the following:
Act, the holder of the plant
This is just to make sure that farmers' privilege cannot be taken away by the minister through regulation. We believe that it is just common sense to have a balanced approach when it comes to a plant breeder's rights, because it's not clear enough. Once again, it's just clarifying. We've heard from many witnesses and stakeholders that this is a right and not a privilege, so it's just reinforcing that exponentially in this text.
