I would say that again we're dealing with a situation that is hypothetical. It may well be a situation where if it's put to an Attorney General to ask for consent or it's put to a prosecutor for prosecution, prosecutorial discretion would come into play. Withholding consent of the Attorney General might come into play. One might even have guidelines about how consent would be issued, which could deal with that particular situation.
When we pass any criminal law, I don't think we're saying that every hypothetical example that might fit within the wording is going to lead to a conviction or even a prosecution. In the type of situation that you describe, my own view is that that's not the intent of the legislation. It's not intending to get at that sort of a situation. The issue for the committee is whether the current wording is sufficient to alleviate that concern or whether more specific wording is needed to make sure that that problem doesn't arise.
