Thank you for the opportunity.
I'm going to take this opportunity to speak to clauses 4 and 5. I've had conversations with all sides, and I understand the frustration experienced by all sides based on the lateness of the emergence of the amendments and the clauses thus affected. I would also defer to any of the professionals sitting next to me, who are all technical people, if they want to get into more details.
In my understanding, both clauses 4 and 5 are redundant, and an additional flag was raised that, because death of a child would be incorporated into the definition and stillbirth is not affected by what we're doing here today, by incorporating that into the specific definition, you would actually be putting those rights at risk.
Because it's unnecessary and would have an unintended consequence, I'm hoping both clause 4 and clause 5 will be removed.
