Industry committee  And paragraph b tries to accommodate that.

Industry committee  Our position is that paragraph a alone does not achieve that objective. We need paragraph b.

Industry committee  Thank you. I just wanted to emphasize that the intention of the provision is the opposite. We are saying that the person must be a member of an institute incorporated under a provincial act and must meet the qualifications required by the provincial act. Basically, this provis

Industry committee  Except that, in paragraph b, it also says that if the province decides to require qualifications, accreditation courses, the person must comply with provincial legislation. Without that, we do not feel that the objective is achieved.

Industry committee  Mr. Chair, what would be the effect of the proposed amendment? I have lost track of the words that would be removed and what would replace them How would subsection 181(1) read with the proposed amendment?

Industry committee  I would add that one other thing we try to do is create uniformity at the national level for all these corporations, because right now there isn't uniformity at the provincial level either. You are setting rules that apply across the country for these corporations. For those comp

Industry committee  Under those conditions, it would be necessary to check the extent to which this legislation would allow a company incorporated under a provincial act from day one to move under the federal program. Some acts include regulations that I think would make that impossible as a procedu

Industry committee  I would like to avoid all confusion. Section 298 talks about the three-year transition period for continuances under the new system. I would like to add a comment to what Ms. Kirby said. On day one, when a company incorporates as a non-profit corporation, it has a plan. It does

Industry committee  Yes, but you could ask Ms. Kirby for a clarification, because I am not... In order to transfer from one system to the other, the corporations that are currently incorporated under federal law must be able to continue to exist under the new system. This type of provision, which s

Industry committee  Yes, thank you. Firstly, as indicated in a previous committee hearing, we believe that the bill as drafted already respects existing frameworks and does not encroach upon the various jurisdictions. However, this amendment would have an impact on the whole issue of the continuit

Industry committee  Yes, I understand the intention. For our part, we want to raise the issue of the transition and the fact that at this time, under the federal regime, there are a certain number of companies that are incorporated, pursuant to the Canada Corporations Act. Those companies will no l

Industry committee  And that's regarding wording proposals coming from various witnesses in their briefs to the committee?

Industry committee  I would also point out that we provided the clause-by-clause analysis of the bill, which indicates the policy rationale and thinking behind every provision. We'd be more than happy, during clause-by-clause, to go into more detail. But we have gone through and explained the ration

Industry committee  I would like to clarify one thing: we have listened and considered what they have said, and have been doing so for a number of years. In some cases, we must try to balance things, particularly the different interests, in order to have a good bill and good public policy. That is

Industry committee  Are we talking about specific textual propositions? We've been discussing a number of these proposals for 50 minutes. Just to make sure we can get back to the committee with what it's expecting, are we talking about specific word changes—delete this clause, add that clause—from
