I would like if the Minister would address my amendments. He spoke about the fact that substituting "illegal" for "incorrect" could be seen as narrowing, but he did not address my amendments that add the term "illegal". He mentioned that the term "illegal" would create a higher bar for access and so forth, but I do not believe that is correct in terms of my amendments where there is the term "incorrect" and I add the words "or illegal". Again, all of the provisions the Bill provides in respect of the term "incorrect" would still stand but would also insert the term "or illegal" as another basis. I believe my amendments are expansionary rather than narrowing. The Minister seems to have mainly addressed the amendment tabled by others that seek to substitute the term "illegal" for "incorrect" rather than my amendments, and there are a large number of them throughout the Bill, which seek to add the phrase "or illegal" after the word "incorrect". Perhaps the Minister could address those.
