Mr. Chair, thank you very much.
I may be proven otherwise, but this is probably the least controversial and least partisan amendment of the entire exercise.
Proposed subsection 82(1) is a provision that states that a reference to the former department, CSE, i.e., CSE under the National Defence Act, is deemed to be a reference to the new department, i.e. CSE under the CSE act, under all the following circumstances and it sets out some half-dozen or so incidents. This list is under-inclusive, because it could exclude, for example, orders in council and other delegated legislation.
LIB-35 adds a provision that, unless the context requires otherwise, every reference to the former department is deemed to be a reference to the new department.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
