I have a point of order.

I would like to correct the record. After reading section 319 of the Criminal Code all the way to the bottom, I must agree with Madam Boivin's interpretation that the definition in 319 is the same in 318. That seems to indicate that some amendments, as Ms. Findlay has predicted, are forthcoming and would be in order. I criticized her interpretation and I would like to correct the record that she was in fact accurate and I was not.

The Chair Conservative Dave MacKenzie

It's such a collegial group.

Before we go in camera, I'd like to thank the legislative officials and the officials from the department for being here to help us today.
