PV-34, again, is based on the testimony that the committee heard from Dr. Myers from Queen's University. This amendment would bring the Criminal Code in line with the proposed change. I have referred to this a number of times with other amendments that I have brought forward, but this is very specifically in relation to the proposed change to the Youth Criminal Justice Act in clause 366 of this bill to require the Attorney General to determine whether the administration of justice charge should be pursued in any case where the substantive charge has been dismissed, withdrawn or stayed, or the accused acquitted.
This is the place where we can break the cycle where people are entering and remaining in the criminal justice system as a result of administration of justice offences only.
