Thank you very much.

I want to begin by commending Ms. Duncan and thanking her for raising the issue of section 280 in CEPA. That's the one thing that bothered me as well. I was happy to see the new government amendment G-7.1, located at page 28.1 in the amendment package. It now makes that liability disjunctive.

I would like to hit on a couple of easy things first.

Mr. MacCallum, in the three cases you mentioned to us—R. v. Rube, R. v. Ellis-Don Ltd., and R. v. Martin— did the legislation in those cases involve liability for prison terms?
