I think the starting point behind the logic has to be in clause 2, as it appears here, which indicates the date that the bill comes into force, January 1, 2008. If I understand Mr. Lessard's amendment correctly, it would make it possible to limit the retroactivity set out in clause 1(2)(8) to 12 months. It could not go back more than 12 months before January 1, 2008. The period could begin only as of December 31, 2007. Therefore, Mr. Lessard's bill limits the retroactivity of the period.

Is that right, Mr. Lessard?
