We have received an amendment from the NDP regarding clause 5, NDP-1. I'm going to read it for the members of the committee. Afterward, the sponsor of the amendment may explain it if he wants to, but he is under no obligation to do so.
That Bill C-21, in clause 5, be amended by adding after line 23 on page 2 the following: “(1.1) Before the regulation referred to in subsection (1) is made, the interested parties must be provided an opportunity to make representations with respect to the proposed regulation.”
Mr. Ravignat, do you want to explain that amendment?
