Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Minister, thank you so much for attending today and taking time out of your busy schedule.
I'm a little bit curious about the situation regarding aggravating factors. I notice that it appears that there are some new aggravating factors and certainly some that would change what currently exists in the law, especially regarding the current aggravating factors found in the Criminal Code. Could you comment, in general terms, on some of the new aggravating factors and how they fit in with the existing ones?
