Mr. Chair, I would move that Bill C-31 in clause 23 be amended by adding after line 41 on page 12, the following:
(3.2) An officer may not issue a warrant for the arrest and detention of a person under this section unless the officer is satisfied that the person poses a threat to Canadian society.
In essence, Mr. Chair, just to keep it short, if you are not a threat to society, then why should you be detained? That's what we're reminded, and it is the essence of what it is I'm hoping to accomplish by moving this amendment.
(Amendment negatived)
(Clause 23 agreed to on division)
(On clause 24)
