I'm down to my last 30 seconds. I'm very sorry.

These are amendments to the Criminal Code. The last time I recall this happening, it was to cut a deal for SNC-Lavalin by bringing in amendments to the Criminal Code in a budget bill that would provide them with an ability to have their prosecutions deferred. Therefore, pardon me if I'm a little suspicious of amending the Criminal Code in the context of a budget bill.

I'm asking this again: Shouldn't this be something implemented separately in a bill and considered at the justice committee, not the finance committee?
