We're going to be bringing forward a couple of amendments to address problems with section 13. In the course of answering some of the earlier questions, you've actually referenced a couple of them. I guess my question for you is whether we will be in a better position with the void created by the repeal of section 13, or with the amendment, or the tweaking, or the adjustments that we are bringing forward.
Here are a couple of the suggestions that have been brought forward by Mr. Cotler and that will be debated at some point here. One is to allow for or to call for the consent of the attorney general for section 13 prosecution action, along the lines of what's required under the criminal law. The second is to allow for the Human Rights Commission to strike down or strike out cases that are abusive or duplicitous because they've been launched in multiple forums.
I'd be interested in your comments with respect to those two proposals, and also in your comments as to whether it's better to have section 13 in existence with safeguards like that than to have nothing.
