I have another question.

The Barreau du Québec concludes its brief by stressing that subsection 494(2) of the Criminal Code should remain as it is. In the brief, the following is said:

We believe that an approach based on protecting the safety of individuals, including both the offender and victim of theft or property damage who enforces the law, is vastly preferable to an approach that could endanger individuals' safety.

I would like to hear what you think about the Barreau du Québec's opinion regarding subsection 494(2) of the Criminal Code.

See context to find out what was said next.
