Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would move that amendment CPC-11, identified as reference number 11961197, be considered by the committee.
The purpose of the two items in this proposed amendment is simply to shorten the time frames. In subclause 17(1), six months is shortened to three months, and then in subclause 17(3), 120 days is shortened to 60 days.
Just to explain my purpose, I'll go back to my professional career as an accountant. When I was dealing with financial matters for people and we dealt with results at the end of a fiscal year, if we didn't actually have an opportunity to respond to those results until almost a year into it—in this case, it would be 11 months if this played out—we'd already be a year down the road before we could respond to the concerns or the issues raised in that report.
My purpose in this would be simply to shorten the time frames to potentially a five-month window rather than an 11-month window so the government of the day could be more reactive to the recommendations that are coming from the council.
I think it's pretty clear what my purpose is there.
