I spoke just briefly to Mr. Ménard before the meeting started. I have concerns. I spoke to Mr. Bartlett, from the department, about this on Tuesday. His impression was the same as mine with regard to the first paragraph and the first suggestion.
I know this is not Mr. Ménard's intention, but it might again be one of those unintended consequences in terms of limiting the scope of section 467.1. I support the intent behind making drive-by shootings a specific target of that section, but not limiting the rest of the section.
We just have to be careful about the wording. I'm not sure if it's necessary that we actually change this. I assume that for the department, in drafting an amendment to the code, it would be clear that we're not limiting the scope of that section. That's my concern, and it's Mr. Bartlett's as well.
I'm just putting this on the record because I think it's a valid concern. The department should watch for it when they're drafting this, in order to carry out the intent of this paragraph.
