I think to simplify things, essentially what the RCMP will be mandated to do here by Parliament is create the national infrastructure to allow for consistent publication of previously published high-risk offenders.

With respect to the specific amendment, the difficulty is that the RCMP would not have any control over, if we published based on the criteria here, any individual using the Internet to try to identify victims. Do you understand the operational implication?
