Mr. Chair, again, I thank Madam Boivin for submitting the amendment. Regrettably, the government cannot support it. The reason is very simple: the information she's seeking is already going to be available. The amendment for an annual report is not required, given that the proposed new database would be public and searchable for review of the information on the offenders. In addition, the information can also be accessed under the access to information legislation. I think she'll find all the things she's asking for are currently available and would be available under the publicly accessible database. In addition, the amendment is technically incorrect in that it misidentifies the Minister of Justice to undertake the proposed report, which would correctly be the jurisdiction of the Minister of Public Safety.
For those reasons, Mr. Chair, we will not be supporting this amendment.
