Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to state at the outset, for the record, that I note that there's not a single Liberal at this table. That speaks volumes about the approach of that party to this study and this evidence.
I want to also say at the outset that I've heard many things today that are simply not correct about Bill C-4. There has been no abandonment of the principles of rehabilitation and reintegration in Bill C-4. In fact, there is no new paramountcy of the public safety provision in Bill C-4 than didn't exist in the previous bill. There's certainly no requirement of mandatory adult sentences, as a previous witness suggested. The same witness suggested that there was a section 8 Juvenile Delinquents Act incorrigibility offence here; there is no such thing in this act.
I have some questions for the Barreau du Québec. I don't know for sure who is the primary speaker, so I'll just pick Mr. Trahan.
In your written brief, you describe clause 7 as applying to “section 3 of the Act”.
I'm assuming that's simply an error and that the reference should be to “section 38”. Is that correct?
