That yet again demonstrates a sore lack of knowledge of the law. In those territories--because none of the provinces have an age of marriage under 16--you're not allowed to marry under the age of 16 unless you either have the permission of the provincial attorney general or some minister, or you have a court order.
So Mr. Muise's comments are in fact irrelevant. That section was put in there...and in fact it should have been broader. I had pushed for an even broader amendment.
I'm sorry, Mr. Chair, I'm going on about this just so that the new members of the committee, those who weren't in on the round when we did Bill C-22, will understand.
