Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
During the Bill C-2 hearings, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms cropped up, so I have a question with respect to some sections in your proposed bill, as well as the existing bill, which I hadn't thought of when we reviewed this before and when we were being briefed by you earlier.
It may be a question to Monsieur Brunet, I don't know, but it has to do with the penalty provisions that are in sections 67 and 67.1.
Section 67 was left as is for your proposed changes, and section 67.1 talked about adding a new penalty clause if there was a failure to create a record in accordance with section 2.1.
My question to anyone--perhaps Monsieur Brunet--is, subsection (2) of 67.1 talks about the penalties and talks about a fine not exceeding $10,000. It also talks about incarceration for a term not exceeding six months. My question is whether any of you have directed your thoughts to the Charter of Rights and Freedoms with respect to that section.
