Thank you.
I'd just like to get some input from the officials about what Ms. Duncan and I discussed. For those who are following, in the bound Bill C-16, it's on page 82, section 247.
In order to assuage Ms. Duncan's concern that the final phrase, “traditional aboriginal ecological knowledge”, stood as an independent disjunctive ground and did not simply relate back to the phrase, “administrative law”, I was proposing to Ms. Duncan that perhaps her concern would be satisfied if we simply amended section 247 to put a comma after the word “regulation”. That would make it clear that the “traditional aboriginal ecological knowledge” phrase was not modifying “administrative law” but was an independent disjunctive ground. If the officials are satisfied that this doesn't create any technical havoc with the clause, then that's what I would suggest we do.
