Thank you, Ms. May.
I'm going to rule on this one.
On clause 16, Bill C-54 provides that the review board in some cases refer the finding for review to a superior court of criminal jurisdiction. The goal of the proposed amendment PV-9 is to give full power to the review board.
Then, referring to page 766 again, in the opinion of the chair, the amendment PV-9 attempts to give full power to the review board in cases where the power to review belongs to a superior court of criminal jurisdiction, and is therefore inadmissible. This ruling also applies to amendment PV-10.
Is anybody challenging the chair on that? Seeing none, that's looked after, then.
Amendment PV-10 is inadmissible based on the ruling I just made.
Shall clause 16 carry? All those in favour?
(Clause 16 agreed to)
(Clause 17 agreed to)
(On clause 18)
On clause 18, we have amendment Liberal-12.
Mr. Cotler.
