Thank you, Mr. Chair.
This amendment would improve transparency and accountability by ensuring that the annual report, which is required to be published, would include details on the use of the minster's duties and powers for national security review. This would include, for example, the new powers on interim conditions and accepting binding undertakings to mitigate national security risk.
The proposed amendment to Bill C-34 would be that Bill C-34 be amended by adding, after line 15 on page 13, the following new clause:
19.1 Section 38.1 of the Act is renumbered as subsection 38.1(1) and is amended by adding the following:
(2) The report shall include information on the exercise of ministerial duties and powers under Part IV.1.
