Thank you.

I'd now like to turn to Bill C-31.

Mr. Minister, mandatory detention without review is a clause that is present in Bill C-31. A very similar clause has been ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court Canada in the security certificate case. How much money does the government expect to pay to defend the charter challenge that lawyers across this country have said inevitably will come?
