The objective of the amendment is to establish a timeframe. Under the circumstances, it is important to make the provision more reasonable. This was confirmed by various witnesses concerned with a balance between the offence created and tool modernization.
Clause 8 should be amended by replacing line 3 on page 7 with the following:
related to the execution of the authorization, that the urgency of the situation requires the warrant or the order and that it can be reasonably executed or complied with within 60 days.
This amendment aims to restore balance and show once again that, while condemning the distribution of images and taking into account tool modernization, the authorities respect privacy and act in a reasonable manner.
