Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Godin, for proposing this amendment. Obviously, we all agree on this. I don't want to draw out the discussion, but we want to build on the work that was done in 2021. There is no doubt about that.
I simply have a subamendment, which was already sent out to everyone by email. I'll hand it out to the committee members now.
I move that the amendment, proposing to amend clause 21 of Bill C‑13 by replacing lines 20 and 21 on page 11, be amended by
(a) substitution after the words “Government of Canada” with the following: “periodically estimates, using the necessary tools, the number of”, so that the text reads: “(4) The Government of Canada periodically estimates, using the necessary tools, the number of”.
The purpose of the amendment is to build on the work that was done in 2021. All the committee members have worked very hard in the past to demand that rights holders be enumerated.
We can take a break, if need be, but if anyone has questions, we can carry on.
