Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I just wanted to look at the wording. I believe I understand what the Bloc member is attempting to do or hopes to do. I just wanted to look at it again because you have different wording. You have proposed subsection 91(1) that says:
Subject to this section, no person shall knowingly represent or advise a person for consideration--or offer to do so--in connection with a proceeding or application under this Act.
But then it goes back to, under the proposed amendment, in (2.1), “In Quebec, subsection (1) does not apply to a person”, etc. But you have the reference to “Subject to this section” at the beginning of proposed subsection 91(1), so it may be problematic.
Be that as it may, the intention seems to be to remove the scope of this legislation from immigration consultants who are practising in Quebec. So it would be removing the national scope.
