I can.

I think the thing is that the amendments have been made under the “duties” section to very clearly connect the principles to the right, to make the principles part of the right, and so the purpose of this proposed subsection 44(3.1) is to require research, studies and monitoring in support of that right, which now, by definition, includes the principles. That's already included, and this proposal would disconnect the principles from the right.
