Thank you, Madam Chair. I move that clause 55 of Bill 6 be amended by adding the following after subclause (1):

(1.1) The Director, in writing,

(a) shall authorize the chairperson of child and Family Services Committee to exercise the powers and perform the duties of an authorized person under Sections 60 and 61; and (b) may authorize the chairperson of a Child and Family Services Committee to exercise any other power and perform any other duty of the authorized person under this Act.

Thank you, Madam Chair.
