Thank you, Mr. Zoe. Mr. Zoe, I'm informed by the Clerk that this is not the way we delete sections. Mr. Zoe, I rule your motion out of order. I'm informed that this is not the usual way of deleting clauses. Your motion is not the usual way of deleting subsections 8, 9 and 10.

---Ruled Out Of Order

Mr. Zoe, the chair is not clear what you're trying to do. Mr. Zoe.

Mr. Chairman, perhaps we could meet with the Member to draft it together since the amendment has to be done, in part, by myself since we need to make some technical amendments; for instance, in numbering the subsequent subsections.

I also need to know whether or not...I don't know if it could be done in 10 minutes or so, but we just need some advice on it from the staff here on whether we should defer this bill for consideration and come back to it later, or whether we have to start over again if we do that.

Mr. Chairman, after serious consideration on this particular clause, I realize that the government is making only minor amendments in terms of making corrections to the appropriate name and so forth but the concern that I'm raising is of a broader nature. Mr. Chairman, these regional councils exist only on paper at this time and that's the point I was making. In reality, they don't exist. I understand what the Minister is doing and the point that I was trying to make was that if they are going to make any changes to the Regional Councils Act, it should have been done right in the first place where these broader issues should have been addressed. Unfortunately, this was not the case. But after talking to a number of Ministers they assured me that the whole issue of the Regional Councils Act will be revisited. I wonder if I could ask the Minister, pertaining to clause 50, if they are going to make a commitment to making major amendments to the Regional Councils Act in the future.

Mr. Chairman, last week I was being questioned by Mr. Patterson about the funding issues for the regional councils and I think Mr. Zoe is correct; I mean, they're not operating in his area. In January, there was a motion in Baffin to dissolve that particular council there. South of the lake they're not working either. Maybe it's timely that we did look at the piece of legislation so I will commit to the House, to the Member, that we will look at the piece of legislation to see how it can be amended to suit the situation that exists today in the territories. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

In that respect, Mr. Chairman, then these minor amendments that have already been drafted, then they just take this section and put it in the Regional Councils Act so the work's technically done in terms of the legal stuff. I'll let this one go and I agree with clause 50. Thank you.
