Thank you, Mr. Chair.
The government will not be supporting this amendment. As Ms. May will know, the court can, in making any prohibition order, weigh the individual personal circumstances of the accused as part of the sentencing process. She'll also know that any condition can be subsequently buried at a later date if there are circumstances in which the change would be desirable, to take her point about getting a job or something of that nature.
Typically, I find it kind of ironic looking at this particular amendment, Mr. Chair, because typically the opposition is telling us to grant greater discretion to the court. In this case they're actually asking us to take discretion away from the court.
So, on that basis, Mr. Chair, we will not be supporting this amendment.
