Madam Chair, an annual audit report is provided for in section 86 of the bill, but it doesn't specify what will happen once the report is delivered to the CRTC by the independent auditor.
To make this more transparent and predictable, we suggest that the report be posted on the commission's website as soon as it is completed.

Another amendment, NDP‑31, deals with the same line. I prefer that one. So I'm going to vote against amendment BQ‑7.

The Clerk
Yes, Dr. Fry. There's Mr. Julian and Mrs. Thomas.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I always appreciate Mr. Champoux's work. However, the words “immediately after it is prepared” leave things in limbo. Are we talking about a day, a week, a month? Therefore, I will vote against the amendment, even if I know the intentions behind it were good.
Amendment NDP‑31 actually proposes the following: “The Commission must publish the report on its website within 30 days after the day on which it receives it.” It sets a deadline, while also leaving enough time for the report to be published.
Therefore I will vote against BQ‑7 and in favour of NDP‑31.

I was just seeking a point of clarification from the legislative clerk that if BQ-7 carries, then NDP-31 cannot be considered.

Madam Chair, can the legislative clerk clarify whether there is a line conflict with G-9?

Thank you, Madam Chair.
No, there is not, because you're adding it after line 36. You can always add several.... It will be renumbered, if needed, at the reprint.
