You've covered quite a bit of ground there, Mr. Murphy. You're quite correct, this puts together a couple of bills that have been before previous parliaments, and it also includes some of the provisions from a private member's bill. Andrew Scheer's private member's bill, you might remember, creates a specific, stand-alone offence for theft of an automobile.
With respect to VIN tampering, there are provisions in the proposed section...it's “without lawful excuse”. “Every person commits an offence who, without lawful excuse, wholly or partially alters”--that is the offence. For the purposes of the vehicle identification number, it means any number or mark that is used for the purpose of distinguishing it from other motor vehicles. I think it covers that as well. It's comprehensive, and from the feedback we have received on this so far, I can tell you it's been very well received.
