Mr. Matthew Taylor (Counsel, Criminal Law Policy Section, Department of Justice) at the Justice and Human Rights Committee

I think I understand the question. I think it is a good question and I think the explanation by Madam Boivin is a good one.

The proposed provision says “vehicle includes” and then it lists a number of specific types of vehicles. From an administrative perspective, I think police officers and the courts are going to understand that the definition is going to be read consistently with the definition of motor vehicle in section 2.

I think the proposal is a good one, but I think it provides enough clarity in the law as it presently exists.
