Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for being here.
You've given very important evidence about one aspect of Bill S-12. Your focus has been on publication bans, which is very important legislation, and we are generally supportive of it.
However, I just wanted to get on the record how profoundly disappointed I am that the government side of the House has delayed this legislation and is now rushing it through. We have a deadline of October 28 in response to a Supreme Court of Canada decision that said that the sex offender registry was unconstitutional, so Bill S-12 intends to fix that.
Now, on top of that, we also have this second add-on of the publication ban. Listening to your evidence today, Ms. Hrick, you say that there are a lot of voices that haven't been heard, and here we are in a big rush with October 28 to get this whole bill passed. I don't feel that we're giving just time to this very important piece of legislation.
That said—that's off my chest now—I want to thank you for your testimony, but we've heard from other witnesses who have said that there should be a simplified process for revoking the publication ban in simple cases. Perhaps you could tell us what, in your mind, constitutes a simple case.
