My name is Rambod Behboodi. I'm general counsel at the Department of Finance in general legal services. Excuse me; I may lose my voice shortly.
You had a question about section 1647 of the bill. This is the technical reference, the technical amendment that is being made; that is to say, the underlined sections refer to sub-item 24.7(1.2)(b)(ii)(A)(I). The existing reference is to subparagraph 24.7(1.2)(b)(i).
The part that is being amended, which is paragraph 24.702(b), refers to additional cash payments. The formula is set out, and “A” is a factor in that formula. That is what “A” is being defined as.
What the current section refers to is the actual equalization payment that is being made, which is incorrect, because the equalization being made cannot be a factor in the determination of the cash payment being made. The correction that is made is in the next subclause in section 24.7, which then refers to aggregate of revenue sources. It's simply that one of the factors in the determination of cash payments is being correctly identified as the aggregate of revenue sources, rather than what is said in the incorrect section.
I hope I made that clear.
