Okay, Mr. Chairman, I move that clause 1 of Bill 3 be amended by adding the following definition immediately after the definition for spouse: "'supported decision-making' means a process whereby a person is unable to make and communicate decisions with respect to personal care and his

or her property, and in which advice, support or assistance is provided to that person by people chosen by that person."

I am having technical difficulties. I am pushing the wrong buttons. I would like to remind the committee that we have to have translation in Inuktitut and French, so we will take a break until the translation is ready. Do you want to make a quick comment, Mr. Minister?

Is it to do with the motion? If it is regarding the motion, we have to get it translated so Mr. Pudlat will be able to follow along. We will break and then you can make your comments to the motion. Thank you.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. Before the break, I moved an amendment to clause 1 of this bill and have since had an opportunity to talk to the Minister and also some of his officials. Because there are other amendments that follow from this first one, there may be some good technical reasons why we would defer this motion until they've had a chance to look at it.
