Yes. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
This is with regard to the “shall” that is being proposed in two places, in proposed subsections 317.1(1) and 317.1(2), which talk about the request for confidentiality. That's something we've handled in another part of this bill, where confidentiality is respected in terms of the definition of confidentiality that's handled through Industry Canada.
I propose that we maintain the third “shall”, but because of the definition of confidentiality in other parts of the bill, I propose that we change “shall” back to “may” in the first two, so that the minister “may disclose the explicit chemical or biological name” and “may disclose the explicit biological name of a living organism” in respect of a request for confidentiality.
We'd agree with the third “shall”.
