Thank you. We have a correction, a slight amendment to make here. We would like to move a motion that the french version of subclause 4(5) of Bill 5 be amended by striking out quote "signification" in proposed subsection 77.2(4) and by substituting "remiss".

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. My question to the Minister is, there has been a lot of concern especially in regard to clause 12(5) section 49. Regarding the percentage used when you cast a vote for a plebiscite in which 60 percent is what is listed but a lot of times in the communities, where you need a large proportion of people to come, there is always a dispute at the end of the day, where you are so close when it comes to a vote, that the communities that do want to enforce some liquor prohibition or whatever, there is always a battle between the community because they are using this percentage. I believe there have been several letters written, especially for the communities I represent, to the department, on that particular matter. I was wondering why has the department not looked at that particular section in the amendments and is there anything going to be done on that particular matter?
