We have an amendment from the New Democratic Party, amendment NDP-8. It is to insert a new clause, which would be clause 33.1.
The amendment proposes that Bill C-36 be amended by adding after line 17 on page 24 the following new clause:TRANSITIONAL PROVISION
33.1 For the purposes of the Criminal Records Act, the record of a person who has been convicted of an offence under subsection 213(1) of the Criminal Code for stopping or attempting to stop any person or in any manner communicating or attempting to communicate with any person, for the purpose of engaging in prostitution, is, in respect of that offence, suspended.
This is an addition, and it's in order.
The floor is yours, Madame Boivin.
