My apologies for interrupting, Minister. I realize it's not polite, but you know how this works. We have a very limited amount of time.
I gather, then, that you agree with me: the provinces, including Quebec, and the territories must administer the justice system with the utmost respect for the Criminal Code and its provisions.
You said that former Bill C‑75 was the product of co‑operation with the provinces and territories. That's well and good, but it's still a federal responsibility. Your government introduced Bill C‑75 and carries the weight of the Criminal Code in its entirety. I assume the code reflects what your government believes to be the best rules for administering criminal justice.
Am I wrong?
