Thank you. I'll speak very briefly.
This one's very straightforward. If you will, the clock should start on a claimant's most recent entry to Canada. The current version of legislation is quite broad and would apply to people who came to Canada initially, with no fear that, when they previously entered Canada and subsequently left, they would be at risk of this new reality, created by Bill C-12, that they would be ineligible to make that claim. It starts the new one-year ineligibility clock on the claimant's most recent entry into Canada rather than their first.
I hope committee members will see fit to accept at least one Green amendment, although I did appreciate Michelle Rempel Garner's mentioning that she hoped I would be pleased with her efforts. It's always good to see collaboration.
