Yes. Thank you, Chair.
Again, this is an amendment that I'm bringing forward in the interest of transparency and accountability.
If you look under the heading “Expenses”, you'll see, under clause 12, “The Government of Canada is to pay its appropriate share of the aggregate of”.
My amendment adds, after line 7 on page 5:
(2) As soon as feasible, but in any case within three months after the end of each year, the Minister must cause to be laid before each House of Parliament a report setting out the amount paid in accordance with subsection (1) during that year.
I think, Mr. Chair, there was some confusion that this might apply to other member countries, but it's very clear in the section that it's under that this is specific to the Government of Canada only. I went to the drafters and came back with this revision on the amendment. It's so that they would report back to Parliament on the cost of this particular section.
