Imagine that: we're on my 100th amendment. We're on page 112.
When the commissioner must issue written reasons for recommendations, my amendment would expand that and say the written reasons must cover the following topics: must demonstrate a consideration by the commission of the impact of the recommendations on the rights of indigenous peoples; must demonstrate the consideration by the commission of the Government of Canada's ability to meet its environmental obligations and its commitments in respect of climate change as a consequence of the recommendations; as well as any public input received with respect to the recommendations.
Again, it's transparency. It's more information for the public. It's that the commission, when providing written reasons, as required by proposed subsection 53(1) will ensure those written reasons reflect its consideration of key factors.
Thank you.
