I think we're in a situation, Mr. Chair, where we want a legal opinion, but we do not have it. I think it would be very safe for the government to make sure that this amendment does not put something in place that would allow something illegal.
Without a doubt we need to know that this is not something that can be used.... We see court cases every day. We see the crown going to court. We see the crown losing.
If I were a lawyer, the first thing I'd head for is that cap. This is the problem I'd see. I just don't understand why it would be there. Again, it could be shoved through, but I think it's awfully inappropriate for the amount of time it would take to have somebody tell us exactly what this means.
