I will not support this amendment. I understand the rationale behind it. Liberal-1, which I'll be moving later on, and which slightly changes the wording in the package, will address this issue. We heard from witnesses on this point. With regard to changing the wording to “persuades or encourages”, I'm concerned that we'd be changing, fundamentally, a term that is known to the criminal law and has been interpreted by the courts. We'd be capturing, perhaps, people who were not meant to be exonerated for certain criminal activity.
Since the word was carefully chosen and has been interpreted for quite a long time in the criminal law, I think it should remain as it stands, and I hope we can address the problem in Liberal-1.
