We were looking to add a paragraph (h), Ms. O'Connell, and it would basically be proposed subsection 15.2(6.1) from CPC-8.1. We would move that as the subamendment, if that's making any sense.

That would be proposed subsection 15.21(3), wouldn't it?

Doug Shipley Conservative Barrie—Springwater—Oro-Medonte, ON
No, it would be paragraphs (f), (g) and (h).

No. It's paragraphs (f) and (g) and proposed subsection 15.21(3).

Do we want it as proposed subsection 15.21(3) or paragraph (h)? Are we just adding it as an extra paragraph?

I'm just wondering, though, if that's only dealing with the number of times an order was “made under” and “prevailed over a decision” or if it's the number of times.... I guess it's “or”.
Could we park this one and work on some language to get consistency in what you want to add? Then we can see if it still complies. That's unless everybody else wants to move forward. I think it would make some sense for us to come together on this one.

Doug Shipley Conservative Barrie—Springwater—Oro-Medonte, ON
I think there's some agreement that we want to see something here. I agree; let's park this, if that's the will of the committee. I agree with what my other colleague said. It would be better if we go with our extra paragraph and make it subsection 3 by adding what's in CPC-8.1, but I'm also fine with parking it, Ms. O'Connell.

The easiest thing to do right now, I'm told, is to suspend for five minutes. We'll get this straightened out, because it may affect some other parts.
Is that okay?

If you could put it in writing, that will help us.

Let's reconvene, please.
Mr. Shipley, please, would you read the subamendment?

Conservative
Doug Shipley Conservative Barrie—Springwater—Oro-Medonte, ON
I do apologize. It took a bit longer, but sometimes that's the way it goes. I think we have a good compromise now.
We will add, as our subamendment, subsection (3), which will state:
The report shall state the number of times that an order prevailed over a decision of the Commission made under this Act during the previous fiscal year and must cause the report to be tabled before each House of Parliament on any of the first 15 days on which the House is sitting after the report is completed.

We are just sorting out the French translation. I think the law clerk can help with that. You wouldn't want me to attempt that. I'd probably make it worse.
My subamendment, as I've stated, is for proposed paragraph 15.21(2)(e). I'll start with that one. It would change “number of” to “description of compliance”. Then in proposed paragraph 15.21(2)(f), very similarly, we would to replace “number of” with “description of compliance”.
