Thank you, Mr. Chair.
In paragraph 4(b), after the words “provide a framework for the”, strike “Government of Canada's implementation of the Declaration” and replace it with “examination of federal law in light of the Declaration.”
That amendment is intended to ensure that the division of powers is respected so as to avoid impacting provincial jurisdiction. It also affirms that the declaration is not immediately being applied to Canadian law. Rather, it's a source to assist in implementing federal law.
To my Bloc friend, I do apologize for the lack of French translation.
