Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you, Madam Chair. I want to make sure everything is in the right place. After the words “in the previous year”, you would add “if those cases have been made public”. Is that correct?

Canadian Heritage committee  Perfect, thank you. Since I have the floor, I would point out that agreeing to subamendment G-2 results in a line conflict with amendment BQ-5.

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you, Madam Chair. G-2, indeed, as you pointed out, deals with lines 19 to 21 on page 2, and that's in paragraph (a); however, paragraph (b) also deals with line 28, and that's where the conflict is.

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you, Madam Chair. Mr. Champoux, the committee just adopted a subamendment to amendment G-2. I understand that you want to replace “an overview” with “a list.” This is just above the subamendment that was just adopted. Also, you want to add “if those cases have been made public.” to the end of the original amendment G-2, but this has just been amended.

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you, Madam Chair. There's no conflict in the lines here, because we're adding items after line 16. Several things can be added at the same time, after a line, and, if all three amendments are adopted, they will then be renumbered.

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you, Madam Chair. Mr. Champoux, ultimately, the amendment in question would exempt the province of Quebec from the application of…

Canadian Heritage committee  No, I'm going to continue.

Canadian Heritage committee  Bill C‑316 seeks to amend the Department of Canadian Heritage Act and maintain the Court Challenges Program, or CCP. Amendment BQ-1 proposes to exempt the province of Quebec, provided it is involved in the cases in question, under the laws of the province of Quebec. This amendment would go beyond the scope of the bill and would therefore be contrary to its principle.

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you, Madam Chair. I have a question for Ms. Thomas on where the subamendment goes. My understanding is it goes right after “Freedoms”, in the last line of the subamendment from Mr. Serré, “Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms”, and then adds “but that do not involve potential conflicts between those rights” and then a semicolon.

Canadian Heritage committee  The “and” that's in the subamendment from Mr. Serré is needed to make the link between paragraphs 5(a.1) and 5(b) in the act.

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you.

Canadian Heritage committee  Oh, okay. I have it. Thank you.

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you, Madam Chair. When translating the amendment from Mrs. Thomas, we realized that there was a mistake in the subamendment from Mr. Serré. In the French version, it should read: "Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms”, not “Canadian Charter of Human Rights.” We simply remove “Human” and add “and Freedoms.”

Canadian Heritage committee  Yes.

Canadian Heritage committee  Since the chair has not ruled it inadmissible, by default, it would be admissible.
