Thank you, Madam Chair.
I will say I think everybody's working very effectively together, which allows us to improve the bill since our attention is focused on the amendments. I note that we have an hour to go and only a handful of amendments, so I'm actually hopeful that we'll be completing the clause-by-clause review of this bill by the time the committee rises. That's wonderful.
Amendment NDP-30 comes from a suggestion that was made by the Canadian Union of Public Employees. They also represent journalists in some sectors across the country. CUPE is Canada's largest public sector union, though it does also represent people in the private sector.
There is a small typo I just want to correct.
This would amend the bill:
(a) by adding after line 33 on page 33 the following:
“(c.1) information relating to the effect of exemption orders made under subsection 11(1) on the Canadian digital news marketplace;
(c.2) recommendations for the attention of the Commission or the Governor in Council arising from the analysis included in the report; and”
(b) by adding after line 36 on page 33 the following:
“(3) For the purposes of the report, the independent auditor may consult the Commission, the Commissioner of Competition appointed under subsection 7(1) of the Competition Act and any person or entity governed by this Act.”
I move amendment NDP-30.
