On clause 4 we have amendment X-1, which is identical to the Green Party-2. This relates to removing the “indecent act” section—section 173 of the Criminal Code—and removing a reference to it that falls in clause 4.
I'm not sure whether any member of the committee would want to move amendment X-1, but amendment PV-2 covers the same as well, so we will be debating it.
What I'd like to do is move to the substantive question, which is linked to amendment X-35 on page 71 of the binder of amendments. Amendment X-35 is identical to Green Party-5. These relate to the section we will need to deal with before we can actually deal with clause 4.
Is everybody on board? If so, does anyone wish to move one of these amendments to repeal section 173? If so, please feel free and speak to it.
Mr. Rankin, would you like to speak to the amendment?
