Brigitte Sansoucy at the Justice and Human Rights Committee

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

A number of witnesses have told us that it would be in all our interests to include, in a clause of Bill C-78, a reference to the preamble of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, passed by the United Nations General Assembly on November 20, 1989. That is why I am asking that we add a reference to the Convention on the Rights of the Child to clause 12 of the bill.
