Yes, I just have a question. I understand that “the bar of a province” would include territories, too.

It's not immediately occurring to me what the difference is between the line currently in the bill and this line. They look identical to me.

Yes, the numbering is different.
Only the numbering is different, Monsieur Ménard. There is no difference, only the numbering. I understand it's the (1).

All those in favour?

I have to notify you that on lines 6 and 12 of the French text, we're going to change défenseur to avocat spécial, just to be consistent with what we have said previously.
There are no more amendments.
(Clause 4 as amended agreed to)

I have a question for the officials on Clause 11.
The Clause lists a number of courts and tribunals, such as the Federal Court of Appeal, the Immigration Division, the Immigration Appeal Division of the Immigration and Refugee Board, but there are other review bodies within the Board.
Will these bodies be listed? I know that there are bills pending on the Immigration Appeal Division. Presently, appeals are allowed only on the immigration side. But in the case of a non-citizen, of a person claiming refugee status...

Did one of our officials get the question?
Mr. Dunbar is looking at it carefully. Let him just examine it for a moment.
Warren Woods Senior Policy Analyst, Operational Policy Section, National Security Policy Directorate, Department of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness
If I understand the question correctly, you're looking at clause 11 of the transitional provisions and you're wondering why the Refugee Protection Division of the Immigration and Refugee Board is missing from this provision.
We are talking explicitly about division 9 of IRPA, and division 9 relates to the use of proceedings before the Federal Court and before the IRB that involve the use of confidential information. These proceedings, during the use of confidential information, exist at the Immigration Division of the IRB and at the Immigration Appeal Division of the IRB, but they do not take place during proceedings at the Refugee Protection Division. So that's why it's not listed.

The Chair Conservative Garry Breitkreuz
So “défenseur” will be replaced with “avocat spécial”.
Shall the title as amended carry?
