I wish to table an amendment to clause 13. I move that Bill C-469, in clause 13, be amended by adding after line 38 on page 8 the following:
( 1.1) Within 20 days of receiving an application made under subsection (1), the Commissioner shall make a record of that application and send a copy to the appropriate Minister.
I'm putting forward that amendment to make this bill consistent with the Auditor General Act, which gives this kind of a specific provision and is also consistent with the Ontario and other bills of rights. So it gives clear direction on how to proceed with the applications and the actions of the commissioner and his duty to actually send it on to the appropriate minister.
