No. Others have presented to the federal Parliament on having a federal 0.05 with a limited criminal record for a short period of time. We propose if there's no reoffence that it automatically go away in two years. We recognized that when we made this proposal. We don't want the person with an 0.05 offence to have a long-time Criminal Code record that restricts the ability to travel, get a job, and those type of things, so we took that into consideration. We feel very strongly that the benefits of doing it federally far outweigh a patchwork system at the provincial level.
