Thank you, Madam Chair. This clarifies section 22(8) of the Insurance Act to add the words "at the par value, if purchased above or below par" after the words "if purchased at par". It also, in Section 23, strikes out the words "prescribed form" and substitutes "form approved by the Superintendent". It also amends the English version by striking the word "prescribing" and substituting "respecting" in sections 38, 220 and 238.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Clause 13, is an amendment to the Judicature Act, 1988, because this amendment passed in 1983 was never brought into force.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Clause 14 corrects an error in the French version in paragraph 34(a) of the Jury Act. It replaces "fixer" with " aux jures".

Thank you, Madam Chair. In clause 15, the Labour Standards Act is amended by striking out the words "expenses as prescribed" and substituting by the words "and shall be reimbursed for expenses". There is also a new paragraph, 72(f)(1), added to allow regulations to be made with respect to the payment of a daily allowance.
