I'd like to move the following motion:
Whereas public concerns have been raised with regard to section 462.34(4) of the Criminal Code (Application for review of special warrants and restraint orders);
Whereas section 462.34 can by judicial order allow alleged criminals to pay their lawyers out of money seized from them by police;
Whereas this practice is not regulated by clear criteria;
Whereas there has been little public scrutiny of this practice;
It is therefore proposed that:
1. The House of Commons Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights study section 462.34 of the Criminal Code and its application, this after its study of Bill C-23 comes to a close;
2. That the Committee dedicate a minimum of 2 sessions to this study;
3. That the Chair of the Committee report its findings to the House.
I have an amendment.
