Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Our amendments reflect the testimony of many witnesses we heard. I think it would be interesting for the government to consider the following.
At line 5 on page 17, clause 20 reads as follows:
(b) the document or data is in the person's possession or control and will afford evidence respecting the commission of the offence.
The idea is simply to amend the wording to include the words "and will assist in the investigation of the offence."
We agree that we are not changing the nature of the paragraph here. This also reflects the testimony of certain individuals who appeared before us.
I therefore ask the government to support this amendment.
