I apologize. The text that I actually want to put in takes into account comments made under the subsections. I apologize. I'd just changed this earlier and forgot that I was operating off two different documents.
Instead of saying “takes into account results of public consultations”, we want to say “takes into account comments made under subsections 9(3) or 9(4); and”.

Amendments NDP-11 and NDP-14 are virtually identical in terms of the changes that you're looking to make; they just apply to different sections. I don't know if we can—

If I can speak to that, they are not identical. The one that we dealt with before was the obligation of the Minister of the Environment to consult the public when she is developing the federal sustainable development strategy. This section, section 11, deals with all the entities that develop their individual strategies. This hasn't anything to do with the FSDS. This is what each of the entities must do in developing their individual sustainable development strategies.
I have added that when they develop those strategies, those entities must also take into consideration public consultation.
It has nothing to do with the FSDS process; it's developing their individual entity strategies on how they're going to deliver their mandates.

What we're saying is that subsections 9(3) and 9(4) would require all designated entities to consider the consultations that the minister has had.
