I move amendment No. 14:
In page 16, to delete lines 41 and 42 and substitute the following:“(6) A person shall retain a notice given to him or her under this section.
(7) A person who gives a notice under this section shall retain a copy of the notice.”.
This amendment clarifies that the obligation to retain a notice under section 16 which deals with the abuse of paternity leave applies to the persons giving and receiving the notice. The Attorney General advised that this was a technical amendment that needed to be made.
