Mr. Chair, I will be brief. I would like to make a comment. I completely understand the decisions you have made about the admissibility of some of the amendments before us. I also understand that the procedure requires it.
Since this session is being recorded, I would just like to share my frustration as a parliamentarian. The committee is hearing a great deal of testimony and it is difficult to introduce amendments because the scope of the bill is very narrow. It is difficult to deal with. We are certainly not going to be able to solve the problem at this committee. I just wanted to say how concerned I am.
Coming back to the amendment before us, I am opposed to it for two reasons. First, in my opinion, the French version says the opposite of the English version. Second, and this is very important, having no limitation period goes too far. The clause is talking about summary offences, the less serious ones. Anyway, it is unlikely that any police force is going to wait 10, 15 or 20 years to investigate an offence of which there will likely be no trace left, let alone evidence, and which no one is interested in any more. So I am going to vote against the amendment.
