I respect that.
I want to go back to first principles. The summary of the bill that's before us is very simple:
This enactment amends the Criminal Code to require that a presentence report contain information on any mental disorder from which the offender suffers.
If we're going to say that Bill C-375 is worth passing, the only attempt in my amendment is to simply say that this is a good idea, but we ought to respect the privacy interests of the offender if we're going to go ahead with the requirement about the pre-sentence report. I don't know whether they do or don't, but this bill requires that information about a mental condition now be made available. I'm simply saying that, if we're going to do that, I would like to do what Mr. Embry and the criminal defence people told us to do, which is to respect the privacy of the offender. That was the only purpose of the amendment.
