Thank you.
The CBA position is very clear that one law should apply to everyone. We acknowledge that there are existing sections under section 25 of the Criminal Code, but those sections have procedural safeguards. Any time any individual breaks the law, there have to be safeguards. I would submit to you that the existing Criminal Code provisions have the proper procedural safeguards already in place. Any time you make exceptions to the rule of law, you have to be very prudent.
I would submit that the CBA position is very clear, and has been clear, that one law should apply to everyone and the procedural safeguards that exist in the existing Criminal Code are sufficient.
