Senior General Counsel and Director General, Criminal Law Policy Section, Department of Justice

Matthew Taylor

From a policy perspective, we obviously work very closely with Public Safety. We have good relationships with the Law Commission. I think the specific issue you've identified will be of more interest to our Public Safety colleagues, but it is certainly something we follow closely as part of the policy development process we do.

Mr. Kroll, did you want to supplement that?

Chief Financial Officer and Assistant Deputy Minister, Management Sector, Department of Justice

Bill Kroll

I was simply going to say that we are not in a position to speak to the supplementary estimates for the Law Commission. That's a separate department. You'd be best to ask them about the funding they're seeking.

The Chair Liberal Lena Metlege Diab

We've come to the end of the session. We're actually a few minutes early. That was very nicely done by members. Thank you very much for your efforts in getting through the supplementaries.

Have a wonderful afternoon. We'll see everybody next time.
