Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to thank our colleague, Ms. Fry, for presenting Bill C-273, which would amend the Criminal Code. It deals with cyberbullying.
I would like to publicly say that I appreciate the work you are doing. For our colleague, Dany Morin, from Chicoutimi—Le Fjord, the entire multi-faceted issue of cyberbullying is also extremely important. As you said in your presentation, it is not necessarily the easiest thing to resolve. I do not think that Bill C-273 will stop cyberbullying, but it is certainly a step in the right direction.
In the letter you distributed on January 30, 2013, to support your bill, you said that the bill was going to be studied by the committee. You alluded to comments made by our colleague, Mr. Goguen, the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Justice. According to him, it was perhaps…
a little narrow in scope.
You claim you are quite ready to amend your bill. But with respect to the provisions you mentioned earlier, I would like to know if you actually intend to amend it. Things are going to unfold quite quickly here. There is today's meeting and the one on Wednesday, during which we will meet with representatives from the department, and then we will start the clause-by-clause review. So I would like to take advantage of your being here as a witness to ask whether you intend to include section 423 of the Criminal Code, on bullying, in your bill, as well as sections 403, 264, 266, 271 and 346.
What do you intend to do?
