I hadn't given up the floor, Mr. Chair.
Again--and I'm saying this to the rest of the committee--any lawyer who looks at that section of the code once passed, where you can make an application, is going to make the application. You would be on the verge of being incompetent if you didn't, at the time you applied for the trial. So those are going to come anyway.
Let me make one additional point, in terms of the comment Mr. Tremblay made of the Official Languages Act. You're right there, to ask for documentation to be translated. We're talking about a significant difference here in terms of what's in peril. We're talking about the person's liberty in a lot of cases, in these criminal cases, and the right to have that document, it seems to me, should be recognized, with the added risk that you have, as opposed to a number of the other documents that you would be seeking under the Official Languages Act, such as some other documentation coming from the public service.
But you're not necessarily talking apples to apples; you're talking more apples to oranges. It's much more significant having these documents available to you automatically than it would be having those documents under the rest of the official languages provisions.
