Thank you, Chair.
Clause 382 proposes a consequential amendment to subsection 110(2) of the Youth Criminal Justice Act as a result of the proposed repeal of section 75 of the act. Clause 382 incorrectly uses the word “and” at the end of paragraph 110(2)(a) rather than the word “or”.
This amendment would clarify that the exception to the publication ban in subsection 110(1) arises whenever a young person receives an adult sentence or whenever the publication occurs in the course of the administration of justice, and not both.
