I support this motion, particularly in light of the explanation that Mr. Bagnell has given. His motion and the study would lie on the policy development process for justice bills within the Department of Justice in order to gain a better understanding of the normal process.
As he mentioned, we've had a number of key witnesses say that they were always part of a consultative process undertaken by the justice department when they were looking at the possibility of amending legislation or bringing forth entirely new legislation for a new policy. In many instances in the past 16 months, this normal consultation has not happened.
