Liberal-1 says that Bill S-228, in clause 2, be amended by replacing line 8, on page 3, with the following:
“children” means persons who are under 13 years of age;
The reason for this is that basically there have been some precedents, and the original wording of “under 17 years of age” might cause some confusion and may perhaps have a charter challenge, with the precedent in Quebec. The reason for this change is that this be aligned with a clause that would likely be charter compliant.
