We have nobody moving these amendments. Therefore, there are no amendments to clause 240.
(Clause 240 agreed to on division)
(On clause 241)
On clause 241, X-146 and X-147 are different options with respect to preliminary hearings. One of them would have been, had “10 years or more” been passed in the previous...and the other would be, had “five years or more” passed in the previous....
I would rule that it would be inconsistent at this point, because we didn't change “life” in the previous two. To change 10 years or five years in this section, I think would create an inconsistency in the Criminal Code that we couldn't have.
That would be my ruling. If anybody wants to challenge that, please let me know.
Not hearing any, I'll rule those two out of order.
We will move to PV-38, Ms. May, which retains “life” and has other options, so that one is not inconsistent.
