Thank you.

Okay.
Is there any other discussion?
Seeing none, shall BQ-9 carry?
(Amendment negatived [See Minutes of Proceedings])
We're on G-6.1, please.

Thank you, Chair.
This one just adds clarity that the Privacy Act will supersede provisions in the bill.

Thank you, Chair.
This amendment will require the minister to prepare a report stating the number of times that an order prevailed over a decision of the CRTC made under this act and to table it in Parliament.

Our concerns with this were, again, that it be contained within the annual report, not a separate report. As long as we can use that language from earlier, we're fine. Can we just get clarity whether that is the case?

I wish it were that simple. We found out there was a little glitch in that one earlier.
Maybe the chair and the clerk will help us a little on that. Can we roll that into part of what we were talking about and try to come back to it next time?

I would just ask for unanimous consent to withdraw the last motion that we put on the floor.

Thank you.
Next, we have G-6.2. If G-6.2 is adopted, G-6.3 becomes moot.

Thank you.
This carries on the earlier discussion about just creating a simpler annual reporting amendment. It encompasses, I think, some of what the Conservatives were trying to do in the last amendment, in terms of saying that the report must include the number of orders that were made in the fiscal year, including timelines of 15 days. We think that just captures some of what they were trying to achieve, notwithstanding that I understand the Conservatives want to come back with another amendment later, just to clean up some other language.

Maybe we can just roll things together. It would save us a lot of time.

Are you suggesting that the only thing missing would be the one from the last amendment about any regulation that prevails over such a CRTC decision? Am I understanding correctly that that was the sticking point you wanted included?

Conservative
Doug Shipley Conservative Barrie—Springwater—Oro-Medonte, ON
Yes, it would be included in that report.
Does that cover it all?

Do you want to put some of that language into this one?
