Thank you, Madam Chair.
As we at the Department of Justice understand it, the requirement in the previous Bill C-14 to conduct a parliamentary review early in the fifth year after the act comes into force still applies. The fact that we have a new bill amending sections of the Criminal Code does not change the requirement in the previous Bill C-14.
As we understand it, a single parliamentary review is required, not a review every five years. We see no reason to believe that this requirement would be precluded or affected by Bill C-7.
