It's no, Madam Chair, for these reasons.
I don't understand how, having Bill S-12, we now see the government making amendments. What this amendment would do would give more consideration to the privacy interests of the accused when contemplating the privacy interests of a person subject to a publication ban. That is not what we heard at committee. That's the exact opposite of what we heard at committee. We had victims who went through the worst possible situations in their lives. They feel revictimized by the justice system.
I don't understand where this amendment is coming from when the government is amending its own legislation.
Conservatives will be voting against this amendment.
