Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I'm going to direct my question to Mr. Westell from the criminal justice section. I'm really interested in, and I would like to get a little more in depth on, what my colleague Mr. Fortin was asking you and your responses to that. I appreciated it when you started with the Canadian Bar Association having a unique and balanced perspective. Having been a member of the CBA more than a decade ago, but for many years, I can speak to my involvement when I was there at the time.
In relation to what we are dealing with, I would appreciate it if you could elaborate a bit more on that from the perspective of your section. Can you also comment on whether you or your section has looked at all at the New Zealand model?
For the purposes of the committee, we're trying to figure out what to do with this: whether to strike this bill, leave it as is or make amendments and, if so, what they should be and how they can help the issues here.
I'm going to agree with a number of things that you said. There are other provisions in the law that deal with human trafficking, etc. What are we trying to do here and what is your recommendation to us?
