Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I wish to clarify that Justice is not opposed in any way to the interpretation of the legislative clerk. The government's position, however, is that these amendments are necessary in order to ensure the validity of the bill if it passes.
As I was saying, I'm not an expert in committee procedure and I defer to the clerk in these matters, but the government's position is that this motion is necessary in order to reach the objectives laid out in this bill while ensuring that it is valid.
