Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you for being here today. Unfortunately, we've only got you for an hour. The Senate had three years on this bill, and we get three hours, so we're trying to cram a whole lot of stuff into one short day here.
One thing concerns me, and the entire paragraph has been mentioned a number of times, so I won't read the whole paragraph, but it's in proposed subsection 445.2(4). It deals with an exception and who would be excepted.
Every one commits an offence who promotes, arranges, conducts, assists in, receives money for or takes part in any meeting, competition
The word I want to focus on is “promotes”.
The question has been asked: If someone goes outside the country and views a whale or dolphin show, and then comes back and puts it on their Facebook page, can you unequivocally say that that would not be considered as promoting that type of an event? Unequivocally?
