Certainly in the area of provocation we are against the bill, particularly because, as I said, this a really wholesale change to the substantive criminal law and it should not be done in a piecemeal fashion. Even on that basis alone, we believe that Bill S-7 has been put forward without appropriate consultation, without appropriate thought to the collateral consequences. As my colleague pointed out—and I'll let him add to that—we laud the objectives. We don't think this legislation meets the objectives and therefore it doesn't add anything.
