Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I move that subclause 18(5) of Bill 4 be deleted and the following be substituted:
(5) The right of a parent to exercise the entitlement of custody of a child and the incidents of custody, but not the entitlement to access to the child, is suspended until a parental or separation agreement or a court order otherwise provides where
(a) the parents of the child lives separate and apart and the child lives with the other parent; and
(b) the parent has consented, either expressly or by implication, or acquiesced to the other parent having sole custody of the child. Thank you.
