Yes. Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
The motion continues:
(2) If an order is made at a time when a House of Parliament is adjourned, prorogued or dissolved, that House must be summoned to sit at the earliest opportunity after the order is made.
(3) If a House of Parliament is summoned to sit in accordance with subsection (2), the motion and explanation described in subsection (1) must be made and tabled on the first sitting day after it is summoned.
(4) If a motion is made in a House of Parliament, that House must, on the next sitting day following the sitting day on which the motion was made, take up and consider the motion.
Mr. Chair, the amendment addresses the same issues as the previous one that stemmed from the orders in the public interest. This amendment would address the complete lack of safeguards for the extraordinary power and ensure a degree of transparency, which is needed. Under the framework I'm proposing, the government must table in Parliament any such order within 30 sitting days and ensure that a designated committee study the order's intention and impacts before being able to exercise the cancellation powers proposed in this bill. It also ensures that these powers be subject to statutory review.
Mr. Chair, this is similar to the previous amendment that just passed. It's in the same spirit that I'm moving this amendment.
