Mr. Chairman, this also deals with the matter of preservation demands. It is also related to advice that was presented to this committee by the national association of the lawyers who practise in this country, the Canadian Bar Association. The recommendation from the Canadian Bar Association to remove subsection 487.012(5) is in order to restrict what is now under the act an unlimited power on the part of officers to place conditions on preservation demands. Based on the recommendation from the CBA, the Green Party amendment would remove that unlimited power.
