It is far from the principles of the red book, if I understood it correctly, anyway. But the key clause, which is at the heart of this bill and which is har
d to understand-the minister referred to it just now in his speech, says this: ``Nothing in this Act shall be construed to affect the status of an employee who, immediately bef
ore the coming into force of this Act, occupied a position under t
he authority of the Deputy Minister of Nationa ...[+++]l Revenue for Taxation or the Deputy Minister of National Revenue for customs and excise except that each of those persons shall, on the coming into force of this Act, occupy their position under the authority of the Deputy Minister of National Revenue''.
La présente loi ne change rien à la situation des fonctionnaires qui, à l'entrée en vigueur de la présente loi, occupaient un poste placé sous l'autorité du sous-ministre du Revenu national, Impôt, ou du sous-ministre du Revenu national, Douanes et accise, à la différence que, à compter de cette date, il l'occupe sous l'autorité du sous-ministre du Revenu national».
