Yes, it was covered.
I think the issue here is whether or not the person made the false document—at the request of any of the different agencies that are mentioned here—in good faith. And if the agency is acting illegally, we have provisions in the Criminal Code to deal with that. I can in fact see, at times and given certain investigations, the requirement that one would want to have, for instance, a provincially issued ID. You would have the police force requesting la Société de l'assurance automobile du Québec, for instance, to issue a driver's permit. It would in fact be a real driver's permit issued in the course of an investigation, and this provision would protect the employee who issued it from criminal charges. Right now, the police officer is protected, but not the person who actually produces the false document.
So I like it as it is; I don't like the amendment. I think the amendment is much too restrictive. If we were to go with the amendment, then it would have to be amended seriously to add the Minister of National Defence, the provincial ministers of public safety or solicitors general, and all of the different levels at which you could have official documents produced that are false documents but actually authentic documents.
So I like it the way it is and I will not support the amendment, but I will support clause 7.
