Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Minister, and officials, for appearing today.
Obviously, Mr. Minister, it's a very busy schedule this week again, with the tabling of the not criminally responsible reform act. I'm wondering if you could explain to the committee how the proposed amendments will better protect Canadians and how these measures will give a greater voice to victims.
I also note your comment that, in essence, this legislation may, to some extent, take away some stigma for those accused or found to be mentally deficient in the sense that the high risk designation will be so marginally, and I guess very strictly, applied.
