Thank you, Mr. Chair.
The addition of a new subparagraph would actually ensure clarity in the act and avoid any misinterpretation. The amendment would actually add a new subparagraph (c)(i) to proposed subsection 28(3) to clarify the treatment of others who should not be considered passengers under the act. These would be people carried on board involuntarily, such as shipwrecked and distressed persons.
That is my understanding of that particular amendment. And I would like to hear from Mr. Gauthier if that is indeed his understanding of the amendment as well.
