Evidence of meeting #12 for Natural Resources in the 41st Parliament, 2nd Session. (The original version is on Parliament’s site, as are the minutes.) The winning word was amendments.
A recording is available from Parliament.
Brenda Baxter Acting Director General, Workplace Directorate, Labour Program, Department of Employment and Social Development
That would make sense, because those immunities would have applied previously.

Is it possible to share that correspondence from the Province of Nova Scotia with us?
Director General, Energy Safety and Security Branch, Department of Natural Resources
Indeed. We have a letter from the deputy minister from the Nova Scotia Department of Energy. We'd be happy to do that.

The Chair Conservative Leon Benoit
Mr. Julian, are you asking for that now, or would you like that sent to you—
NDP
Peter Julian NDP Burnaby—New Westminster, BC
Well, if it's available now, I think it would be useful, just to—
Director General, Energy Safety and Security Branch, Department of Natural Resources
We'll look for it, and if we find it we'll bring it forward. It'll take a second.
Conservative
The Chair Conservative Leon Benoit
Okay.
Mr. Julian, do you want to wait here, or should we deal with this clause...or we could table this clause for now.
NDP
Peter Julian NDP Burnaby—New Westminster, BC
Could we table it, Mr. Chair? We're moving along and we're making a lot of progress, thanks to Mr. Trost's eagle eye in reading through the legislation. I think we can set this aside and come back to it.
Conservative
The Chair Conservative Leon Benoit
Is it agreed that we stand clause 84 until sometime later on in the process? We'll determine in a logical fashion when that time will be. Is that agreed?
Conservative
Director General, Energy Safety and Security Branch, Department of Natural Resources
Mr. Chair, we may be able to find it electronically and forward it in short order to the committee here today. We'll do so while you continue deliberations.
Conservative
The Chair Conservative Leon Benoit
Yes, we're certainly hoping we can get that before the end of the meeting.
Okay, the next group of clauses that are unamended are clauses 85 to 87, three clauses. Is it agreed that those clauses be passed unamended?

Would you note that, please, clerk?
(Clauses 85 to 87 inclusive agreed to on division)
(On clause 88)
The next one is clause 88, government amendment 5.
Mr. Trost.

This motion is required to align select subsections of Bill C-5 with the Technical Tax Amendments Act, 2012, which passed in the last session of Parliament.
In clause 88, the changes are to proposed subsections 216(1), 216(2), and 216(4), pages 243, 244, and 245.
Conservative
The Chair Conservative Leon Benoit
You've heard Mr. Trost's proposed amendment. Is there any further discussion on that amendment?
Mr. Julian.
NDP
Peter Julian NDP Burnaby—New Westminster, BC
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to ask our guests from the Department of Natural Resources what they see as being the impact of Mr. Trost's amendments?
