Mr. Speaker, Motion No. 7 would introduce an entirely new concept into the SIMA legislation. It really has to do with the retroactivity that we have a serious objection. I do not understand how this would work. It would cause a lot of confusion for businesses which need to know what kind of ground rules they are operating under. Therefore we would not support this motion.
