Thank you, Chair.
I just want to ask a question of the witnesses here, because I think the intention of this amendment from Ms. May was to establish a floor, a minimum, that would meet the obligations in clauses 31, 33 and 34. The committee has now just passed a subamendment that removes the floor and that simply has it say, “in a manner that meets the obligations”. I'm not sure that was the original intention of the amendment.
Maybe I'll turn to the officials. If it were to pass without “as a minimum”, what bearing does that have on the responsibilities of the government when it comes to providing funding and following through on their obligations in this act?
