I move amendment No. 28:

In page 19, subsection (4)(b), line 36, to delete "out of spite, ill will or".

I wonder if the language there is as intended — "bad faith or out of spite, ill will or other improper motive"? I am not familiar with the use of "out of spite" being used in legislation of this nature but I will not necessarily press the matter. I want to comment generally on the section.
