Mr. Lévesque, correct me if I'm wrong, but the accused may already make such a request of the judge if the prosecutor is using the peremptory challenge to exclude a certain community or category of Canadians, as Mr. Grondin mentioned. We are basically proposing that that mechanism be extended to both parties, depending on circumstances. This gives more leeway than if we only considered the situation and origins of the accused, or those of the victim, or other such circumstances.
