Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
My thanks to the witnesses for being here.
My goal is to become a lawyer one day. I have never set foot in the Federal Court of Canada, but I hope that, one day, I will be able to be appointed a Supreme Court judge.
I would like to deal with two quite important matters, and that will perhaps allow you to clarify some things.
In the English version of the bill, the proposed addition of section 5.1 uses the words “barrister” and “advocate”, whereas the proposed addition of section 6.1 uses the word “advocate” only. There is a distinction.
What categories of people do these two proposed additions include? Why is there a difference between proposed addition 5.1 and proposed addition 6.1?
