Okay. Where do we refer to schedule 2 in the bill, sir?

Director, Portfolio Management, Crown Corporation Governance, Department of Transport

Simon Dubé

Schedule 2 is towards the end of the bill, actually. It's on page 13.

Liberal

Marcel Proulx Liberal Hull—Aylmer, QC

We discussed all of this, Mr. Chair, in our study of the previous bill, Bill C-37. We had very interesting witnesses, but...I'm having a senior moment.

As we all do.

On page 13.

The schedule.

Director, Portfolio Management, Crown Corporation Governance, Department of Transport

11:55 a.m.

Liberal

Marcel Proulx Liberal Hull—Aylmer, QC

Where is the schedule mentioned in the bill itself?

11:55 a.m.

Director, Portfolio Management, Crown Corporation Governance, Department of Transport

Simon Dubé

In the definition section at the beginning. On page 2, line 24 in French, it says:

“parc de la Gatineau” Territoire délimité à l’annexe 2.

11:55 a.m.

Liberal

Marcel Proulx Liberal Hull—Aylmer, QC

Lines 24 and 25.

11:55 a.m.

Director, Portfolio Management, Crown Corporation Governance, Department of Transport

Simon Dubé

Exactly.

11:55 a.m.

Liberal

Marcel Proulx Liberal Hull—Aylmer, QC

Mr. Nadeau, why include paragraph 10.01(1)? It is already in the definition.

11:55 a.m.

Bloc

Richard Nadeau Bloc Gatineau, QC

It is being added so that the second element is included in the bill.

11:55 a.m.

Liberal

Marcel Proulx Liberal Hull—Aylmer, QC

The first element is not necessary.

11:55 a.m.

Bloc

Richard Nadeau Bloc Gatineau, QC

By the way, the amendment would add clause 10.01, not 10.1.

Noon

Liberal

Marcel Proulx Liberal Hull—Aylmer, QC

I understand, but in clause 10.01, the first paragraph....

Noon

Bloc

Richard Nadeau Bloc Gatineau, QC

It is actually the only paragraph.

Noon

Liberal

Marcel Proulx Liberal Hull—Aylmer, QC

No, there are two.

Noon

Bloc

Richard Nadeau Bloc Gatineau, QC

Oh, okay. I understand what you mean. That is true.

Noon

Liberal

Marcel Proulx Liberal Hull—Aylmer, QC

The first paragraph establishes the boundaries described in Schedule 2. That is already in the bill, on page 2, lines 18 and 19.

Noon

Bloc

Richard Nadeau Bloc Gatineau, QC

Yes, I understand. I am following up on that.

In that case, since the point is to make sure that it is in there and that it appears in the beginning, we do not have to include it.

Noon

Liberal

Marcel Proulx Liberal Hull—Aylmer, QC

Could we check with the clerk to make sure that in a previous meeting we did not change anything at page 2? In the English version it would be lines 18 and 19.

In the French version, the geographic description of the park's boundaries appears in lines 24 and 25. But we have never seen a geographic map showing the park's boundaries, except on an 8½-in. by 11-in. sheet of paper. It is awfully hard to see the deer on a sheet that size.

Noon

Director, Portfolio Management, Crown Corporation Governance, Department of Transport

Simon Dubé

You need a good magnifying glass.

Ha, ha!
