Madam Chair, if I may, at this point I would like to propose an amendment to clause 1. Perhaps I could read that for the benefit of everyone here. It reads as follows: that Bill C-282, in clause 1, be amended by replacing lines 8 and 9 on page 1 with the following:
and functions set out in subsection (2), the Minister may consider not making any commitment on behalf of the Government
That is the proposal that I would like to make, Madam Chair.
