Minister, I want to be certain that I understand everything clearly. Does Bill C-35 with its reverse onus proposal in fact address a genuine need? Legislation must ultimately meet a need and according to what Mr. Mauser told us, there was in fact a problem in 2006.
Can you apply, as I have done, the situation he is describing to cities like Montreal or Vancouver? Could Bill C-35 minimize the chances of having many people who are on probation or otherwise have been released commit offences?
