Thanks, Mr. Chair.
The effect of this amendment is in changing clause 12. It would be moving proposed subsection 16.2(1) of the bill, the provision for maximum parenting time, into another part of section 16 that deals with the best interests of the child. This amendment clarifies, somewhat related to what I was speaking to earlier about another amendment, both that a child's relationship with each parent is important and that considering the best interests of the child is the only test to be applied in making parenting arrangements, while having regard for the fact that having both parents as part of a child's life is important to the child.
