Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you very much, ladies, for being here.
I'm going to direct my questions to you, Ms. Cherniak, if I could. It's just a statement and then a request, with the indulgence of the chair.
I initially thought, as we reviewed C-21 and generally reached an all-party agreement on the gaps that this was going to fill—and we had some amendments that needed to be made to the existing legislation—that we were on the right track. After hearing you, I'm not so confident that we are. You mentioned that we're missing some key definitions, which don't exist anywhere else in legislation, to help identify and clear up some ambiguity. We know that those who play out the practical application of this legislation will struggle with it and have difficulty.
I'm wondering whether you would be gracious enough to provide us with some recommendations on amendments that we will take under advisement in addition to the report you've given us, recommendations specific to those issues you identified where we still have major gaps in this legislation, so that we complete the intent, which is what we want to do as a committee. You can respond if you wish. If you could provide that to the committee, I know I personally would appreciate it as we start going through this act clause by clause. These are things we could tighten up.
