Is there any other debate?

We'll go to NDP-87

Thank you.
This is, as you've said before, a fallback position. Given that the amendments to repeal the entities listing have been defeated, this amendment seeks to change the period of publication of the results of the review of listed entities. So rather than using the wording “without delay” the wording would be “within five years.” So it is prescribing a time.
This comes from a recommendation out of the Canadian Bar Association.

If I may just correct myself, instead of “within five years”, it's “without delay.” I apologize for that.

I would like to ask our experts one or two questions.
If an entity remains on the list, it remains there after the review, but if it is removed from the list, does the de-listing take effect at the moment of the decision or when it is published in the Canada Gazette?
Director and General Counsel, Criminal Law Policy Section, Department of Justice
I don't have a firm answer on that, but the Governor in Council would have made the decision to delist.
Director General, National Security Policy, Department of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness
We'd have to get back to you on that, but the assumption is to meet as soon as possible after the Governor in Council decision and that decision would be made public. I would have to confirm that. Sorry.

If it's agreeable to the committee, can we suspend this until the officials have a chance to confer? We could keep going but suspend this until either somebody else can confirm it or tomorrow morning.

Does this amendment have any impact on any other amendment coming?

The Chair Liberal John McKay
Yes.
In normal circumstances I'd suggest Mr. Motz's suggestion makes perfectly good sense. Unfortunately though, if we suspend and don't deal with.... What are we on? LIB-52...?
Liberal
The Chair Liberal John McKay
Sorry, we're on NDP....
Now I'm confused, but sorry, I can't move without suspending the whole clause.
