Mr. Chair, this amendment is consistent with the others that the Green Party has been proposing. It comes from the testimony that the committee heard.
I do note and I appreciate Ms. Crockatt's comment earlier that I wasn't able to attend all the committee meetings. For anyone watching, it's because I'm not allowed to be a member of any committee, nor am I allowed to speak before committees except in response to the committee motion passed at this committee and all other committees which summons me at moments like this to present amendments without being able to move them or vote on them. So I'm in a rather unusual position.
Given the opportunity I have, and having looked at the evidence before the committee, I'm trying to pick the salient pieces that can improve the legislation. We heard testimony from Ecojustice, from their lawyer Will Amos, who is quite a distinguished lawyer in the environmental field.
I will digress at this moment, Mr. Chair, to note that three graduates of Dalhousie law school are here at this table: Mr. Regan, Ms. Kellerman, and me.
