Tommy Enuaraq Baffin Central

Thank you, Madam Chair. I move that subclause 71(2) of Bill 6 be amended by deleting paragraphs (g) to (i) and by substituting the following:

(g) to a peace officer, if the person believes on reasonable grounds that

(i) failure to disclose the information or record of information is likely to cause physical or emotional harm to a person or serious damage to property, and

(ii) the need for disclosure is urgent;

(h) where a disclosure or communication is required for the purposes of this act or to protect a child;

(i) where necessary for the provision of care, counselling or education to the child;

(j) where, in the opinion of the Minister, the benefit of the release of the information would clearly outweigh any invasion of privacy that could result from the release; or (k) where it is required for the purposes of this act.

Thank you, Madam Chair.

The Chair Jane Groenewegen

Thank you. I just want to pause here for a minute. Is the committee still wanting the Minister to speak to each clause? Are you finding the description at the beginning of the clause helpful in each case? Do you want to continue doing that? I was just thinking that we might make a little bit more progress. Mr. Steen.
