Thank you.
Mr. Jean and I both come from Alberta, and there have been some high-profile cases in rural Alberta in the last couple of years where law enforcement is some distance away and events have occurred on private property that led to chases off private property. Individuals ended up getting involved in criminal activity.
I'm not going to ask you to comment on those cases. What I'm concerned about—and I do support the legislation, let's be clear on that—is that the short title “Citizens Arrest and the Defence of Property and Persons” might give a false level of assurance to individuals who, though they might not want to engage in vigilantism, might yet want to defend their property to an extent that is not contemplated by this act.
What type of educational campaign does the Department of Justice envision to educate Canadians on the somewhat narrow protection this bill will give for the defence of property?
