I think I spoke to it in the previous hour. As you know, we do think it should be in the legislation as it is in the Environmental Assessment Act. That's what it's about.

Thank you.
In terms of amendment LIB-1, I unfortunately do have a ruling.
Amendment LIB-1 is inadmissible as it infringes on the financial prerogative of the crown and would require a royal recommendation, so I rule in that direction.
We're on amendment NDP-22.
Colleagues, we're getting close to our time limit, so I think amendment NDP-22 is where we'll leave it, but let's see if we can get through amendment NDP-22.

Mr. Chair, I move that Bill C-47 in clause 2 be amended by adding after line 26, on page 44, the following:
94.1 The Board must establish a participant funding program to promote public participation in the review of projects that have been sent to the Board under subparagraph 94(1)(a)(iii) or (iv).

I actually have a ruling with regard to amendment NDP-22. It is inadmissible because it infringes on the financial prerogative of the crown and would require, again, a royal recommendation.
Colleagues, we will leave it there. When we return for the next meeting, we will begin at amendment NDP-23.
(Clause 2 allowed to stand)
The meeting is adjourned.
