What I'd like to propose to my colleagues is that we vote down amendment NDP-2 and that we embed wording that includes that best practices would be defined in regulation. I have suggested wording for that if we get to amendment G-2.
I do think we need “generally accepted best practices” in there in order for those to be defined by regulations. I think that addresses some of the concerns that have been expressed, which I think are valid concerns to have. If the concern is that industry groups can essentially define best practices however they want, this would address that and would essentially make it dependent upon regulation. I think that would strengthen it and certainly allow for consultation to be done. I think that would be very important, but the regulations would be set or those best practices would be defined essentially by the government and the OPC. I believe this would align with Quebec's law. Given the debate we've had, it's what I would propose as a compromise here.
I hope we can vote down amendment NDP-2 together and then, in good faith, move a subamendment to G-2 that would strengthen it in the way I've suggested here.
Thanks.
