Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Welcome, witnesses.
We've seen many occasions where...of course our judicial system is based on a lot of discretion and the give-and-take and the ebb and flow of the capacity of both crown and defence to negotiate the legal process to the benefit of everyone. My concern is this. Will any of this legislation as proposed affect the potential for either crown or defence to negotiate any other variants in the plea bargain system per se as it exists now versus potential changes? Will it affect it negatively or positively, or do we have the status quo?
