These seem to be in English, French, Inuktitut, but no Gwich'in.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. If there is a motion or an amendment, maybe next time it should also be translated into Gwich'in. It's just a reminder. Thank you.

Mr. Chairman, could I get some clarification? Not being on the Legislation committee, could I get some clarification with regard to what is subsection 181(3) that they're repealing?

I just indicated, Mr. Chairman, that I can't seem to find subsection 181(3). When you look at clause 38, it refers to subsection 198(2), referring to being repealed and the following is substituted. This motion placed on the floor is asking that clause 38, subsection 181(3) be repealed. Can someone explain to us what this clause states? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the researchers from the Standing Committee on Legislation pointed out to us an error that we had made in the legislation after the bill had been reviewed by the Standing Committee on Legislation. To specifically answer the Member's questions, subsection 181(3) provides that the chief electoral officer shall publish a summary of an additional return made under subsection 179(4). The problem is, Mr. Chairman, that clause 37(c) of Bill 15 repeals subsection 179(4) and then there would be no provision for the additional return in the Elections Act. It was picked up by the researchers in the Standing Committee on Legislation and pointed out to us that there needed to be a motion to amend. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

I understand what Mr. Pollard is saying but either I'm not looking in my book correctly or I'm misreading under clause 37 of the bill, which is basically page 9. It refers to section 179. On page 10, under section 38, it refers to subsection 198(2). Basically, this motion is stating clause 38, subsection 181(3) being repealed. Could I get clarification of that?

Mr. Chairman, these are technical amendments to the bill where we had made an error. In order to get those technical amendments explained, I'll ask Mr. Aitken to explain to the committee. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. If Members look to page 10 of the bill, they will see in paragraph 37(c)...

Mr. Chairman, as I said before, this motion amends the bill to add a new clause repealing subsection 181(3) of the Elections Act and that particular subsection provides that the chief electoral officer publish a summary of an additional return made under subsection 179(4), but clause 37(c) of Bill 15 repeals that particular subsection. Therefore, if we didn't make a change there would no longer be any provision for the additional return. This motion corrects that, Mr. Chairman, and it also renumbers existing clauses 38 to 41 as clauses 39 to 42 and inserts the new clause as clause 38. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
