I move amendment No. 38:

In page 79, to delete lines 36 and 37 and substitute the following:

"(2) Only a person or persons registered under Part 4 may apply for, or be granted, a certificate under subsection (1).".

We debated this on Committee Stage. The intention is to copper-fasten the Bill's provisions. The existing provision, at section 110(2), states: "Only a registered person may apply for, or be granted, a certificate under subsection (1)." However, there is no definition of the word "registered". The amendment is clear and leaves no room for doubt. I move it to ensure someone does not misunderstand the word "registered" and make an error in registering or accepting somebody who is registered in some other manner.
