Thank you very much.
I just want to clarify that I'm an expert on cyberbullying; we've been doing it for 19 years. I'm a U.S. Lawyer in New York and New Jersey, and I'm not familiar with all aspects of criminal law here, although I have seen the responses of the Canadian Bar Association and others.
If indeed the existing law says it's part of an existing valid criminal prosecution, that test, from what I've been able to read, is not in C-13. If it were part of a valid criminal process and an investigation, I don't have a problem with existing law, but that change is what concerns me. It's the arbitrariness of what this is.
I'm not a legal expert here, but based upon just what you said, I see that there is a substitive difference between the two.
Maybe I should be taking Shaheen's legal literacy program so that I know a little bit more about this.
It's a concern to me that there doesn't appear to be a standard. That language is not in this bill. If it were, I might be more comfortable with it.
