The Chair Liberal Anthony Housefather

Thank you very much.

While we have the Department of Justice here, colleagues, I just want to ask this since we have our subject matter experts here.

Mr. Gilmour, Mr. Cooper raised the matter of section 320.1. It's been raised frequently as to why it's so rarely used. As the subject matter expert from the Department of Justice, why do you believe section 320.1 is so rarely used in Canada?
