Thank you, Mr. Chair. I will be sharing my time with Mr. Lametti.
Thank you to all the witnesses.
Mr. Lewis, I'm going to focus on the PRA and ask you some clarifying questions.
From previous testimony, we heard that we should probably narrow the focus of the PRA and make sure the punishment fits the crime. In your remarks, the way I understood it, you talked about other elements that are in place that don't make it necessary for the scope of the PRA to be narrowed. You talked about the innocent mistake provision and the override provision.
You specifically talked about the fact that CRA has the ability to override. You also mentioned that the laws are different in Canada and the U.S. Can you expand on how CRA can override, and how it's been effective, as well as on the differences in the laws?
