moved for leave to introduce Bill C-368, an act to amend the Export Development Act.
Mr. Speaker, this bill flows directly from a chapter in the red book which is dedicated to sustainable development. It is intended to encourage the Export Development Corporation, ministers of the crown, and the governor in council to exercise powers under the Export Development Act and when they do so to promote sustainable development in the exercise of their respective powers.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed.)
