Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like two clarifications from the officials.
Firstly, it seems to me that prior to this Parliament, it was fairly common practice to pass a bill whose effects were retroactive, but whose intention had been announced previously. Can someone assure me that my understanding is correct?
Secondly, if we vote in favour of the amendment to replace “2023” with “2024” without having the precise figures, what effect might this have on the purpose of the bill? Could you explain this to us?
