Thank you, witnesses.
Things are a bit jumbled, but your participation is most appreciated.
One aspect of Bill C-26 is the creation of a high-risk sex offender database, but I didn't hear you talk about it. Under clause 11, the Governor-in-Council may make regulations establishing the criteria for determining whether a person who is found guilty of a sexual offence against a child poses a high risk of committing a crime of a sexual nature.
How would you define this exactly? Does this database reassure you? Does knowing that it will be created and will be different from the existing National Sex Offender Registry make you feel safer?
I suggest we go by order of your presentations. We can start with you, Mr. Gilhooly.
