Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to thank Mr. Easter for bringing this amendment forward. I remember hearing this from one of the witnesses we had before the committee.
We're not going to support it at this time. I'll bring back what I mentioned in our previous committee, that in the greater scope of the victims bill of rights many things are likely going to be addressed, not just within the context of what the individual member who brought this private member's bill forward is trying to achieve in this bill, but in the greater scope of the victims bill of rights on many other issues and other areas of the code.
Again I'd like to thank Mr. Easter for bringing this forward. We agree with it in principle, but we're not supporting it as an amendment in this particular bill at this time.
