May I ask Mr. Falk a question of clarification, just to establish the intent?
Mr. Falk, the original wording talks of an exemption to clauses 3 through 5. With the new wording that is being proposed it reads:
commits an offence under this Act
That would be the entire act.
I understand it could be argued that a criminal offence is the only offence you could commit under the act, but I don't think you intended it to apply to the labour code or the human rights code, did you? Otherwise, we might want to say “clauses 3 to 5 under this Act”.
I'm just wondering what you intended.
