Thank you, Mr. Hanger.
Thank you, Minister, for coming to our committee again. You've certainly been generous with your time and your frequent visits.
I agree with your assessment that this is good legislation. I think any time we have justice legislation we look at how it makes law enforcement and crown attorneys more efficient and effective.
There are two areas you mentioned that perhaps you could expand upon. One is on DNA orders that were made to a particular geographic office or department. How has that been expanded? How was it before? How is that going to change? How is that going to make law enforcement more efficient?
For example, and I'm not sure how it was before, but would they have given a DNA order simply to the Peel region, and then other regions could have accessed it, or was it on a provincial basis?
