Mr. Chairman, I move that clause 31 of Bill 3 be amended by
(a) striking out "not able" wherever it occurs in clauses 31(1)(b)(ii)(A) and (B) and by substituting "not able, by himself or herself or with assistance,";
(b) adding the following after clause 31(1):
Marginal note: Alternative course of action
(1.1) The Court shall not make a guardianship order under subsection (1) if it is satisfied that an alternative course of action is available that
(a) is less restrictive of the decision-making rights of the person in respect of whom the application is made; and
(b) will provide substantial benefits to the person in respect of whom the application is made that are comparable to those that would be provided by a guardianship order; and
(c) striking out "not able" wherever it occurs in clauses 31(2)(b)(ii)(A) and (B) and by substituting "not able, by himself or herself or with assistance".
