Mr. Chair, we're not capable of supporting this motion.
The amendment attempts to define brutal nature for the purposes of a high-risk accused NCR scheme. However, the term is used elsewhere in the Criminal Code, i.e., the dangerous offender provisions in subparagraph 753(1)(a)(iii).
By defining the term for the purpose of this bill and not defining it elsewhere in the Criminal Code, it could lead to disparate definitions of the term.
(Amendment negatived)
