As Mr. Goguen said, I'm certainly sympathetic to the amendment. I wish I could have seen it before now. I understand the challenge. I know that when amendments are proposed I like to try to take the time to go through the Criminal Code to see what other implications there may be. All of us on this committee work very hard, but none of us are experts in the Criminal Code and how changes in one section can impact on other sections. That's my challenge.
Then, in terms of adding a new definition and at the last minute writing it by hand, as well-intentioned as it may be, I certainly don't know what the consequences of that will be or how it's going to be interpreted. I don't necessarily think we should be rewriting the Criminal Code at the last minute. That's my concern, but we have the benefit of Mr. Taylor being here.
I thought perhaps you could weigh in, Mr. Taylor, on what you think about both. There are almost two amendments: the original one and the handwritten add-in.
