moved for leave to introduce Bill C-311, an act to promote the use of plain language in federal statutes and regulations.
Mr. Speaker, I am sure that many members of the House, and perhaps all members of the House, have from time to time been asked by constituents to provide copies of bills. Some of them are very complicated and lengthy; for example, Bill C-2, which is presently before the House.
The purpose of this bill would be to get those bills into plain language that the folks who vote for us can actually understand, and which would make it clear to the courts that we do not want judicial activism.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)
