There's been some talk about the conspiracy to attempt murder, and I understand that this bill adds that to the list of offences that could trigger a retroactive order. I have no trouble seeing why conspiracy to attempt murder should be treated in that manner.
Also, to make sure nothing slips through the cracks, for the subcategory of 16 of the most serious offences--some of them are murder, manslaughter, sexual assault with a weapon, and kidnapping--there would be an automatic DNA order when we had one of those most serious offences.
Could someone speak generally about that subcategory, now that it is created in the bill, of the 16 most serious primary offences and how making that an automatic DNA order would, in my view, prevent some sample from slipping through the cracks when it might otherwise help solve another crime or ensure a conviction?
