Mr. Chairman, if we reconsider our decision to pass clause 12 as amended by LIB-4 and we pass this amendment to the definitions in clause 2 of the bill, it will no longer be possible to add any definitions if there is a need to do so.
Earlier, I asked the officials who are here with us what definitions are needed in order to understand the Patent Act. Bill C-393 is obviously going to amend that Act, and we will be removing all the definitions that currently appear there if we pass clause 2 as amended, or even if we pass it as it appears in the bill.
So, I'd like to reformulate my question and ask it again. We are currently debating clause 2. What definitions are needed in order to understand the Act, whether or not it is amended by Bill C-393?
