All right. Is there discussion on G-6?
(Amendment agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])
Liberal
The Vice-Chair Liberal Geoff Regan
I understand, Mr. Godfrey, that you're not proceeding with L-7 on page 13, so that's struck.
Sorry, hold on. Go ahead, Mr. Warawa.

So you want to delete lines 15 to 35 on page 3 of the bill and lines 1 to 13 on page 4, for the assistance of those who are working on the wording of all of this.
(Amendment agreed to)
(Clause 5 as amended agreed to)
(On clause 14--Petitions to the Commissioner)
Liberal
The Vice-Chair Liberal Geoff Regan
Now we go to clause 14, and we have L-20 at page 40.
Mr. Godfrey, are you going to proceed with that?
Liberal
John Godfrey Liberal Don Valley West, ON
I'll just check here. Yes, I will proceed with this. There will have to be, in light of what we've been doing, two changes made to this. This is L-20 on page 40 in the original package.
First of all, the amendment says, under subclause 14(1), “The Commissioner shall examine the report referred to in section 13”. It is not section 13, because we just eliminated section 13. Does that make sense?
Liberal
John Godfrey Liberal Don Valley West, ON
I don't know whether I have to get.... I'm now referring to an amendment we've already made. I can get specific and say subclause 6.1(2), or do I just say clause 6?
Liberal
The Vice-Chair Liberal Geoff Regan
We have an editor who will work this out, and we're authorized to do that.
Liberal
John Godfrey Liberal Don Valley West, ON
Okay, it is clause 6.
The other change I would make further down, in subclause 14(1), is to change “National” to “Federal”.
Liberal
John Godfrey Liberal Don Valley West, ON
It would say, “implementation of the Federal Sustainable Development Strategy”.
Liberal
The Vice-Chair Liberal Geoff Regan
Okay.
Clause 14 as it exists is about petitions. This is about a different matter.
Liberal
Liberal
The Vice-Chair Liberal Geoff Regan
You could propose it as a separate clause, following clause 13, and then we could....
Liberal
Liberal
The Vice-Chair Liberal Geoff Regan
Then we could eliminate the old clause 14. Does it follow 12 now? It goes right after the last amendment, which was clause 12, I think. So that proposes to do that, right?
