Thank you, Madam Chair.
Just to build on what Mr. Moore said, the reason we're here and the reason this private member's bill was moved was precisely what is required—that a sentencing judge “shall” consider this. In other words, it's compulsory, as opposed to saying they “may” consider it.
Essentially, we're gutting the whole purpose of the bill if we change it from “shall” to “may”. “Shall” is compulsory; “may” is permissive. If it's going to be permissive, we might as well not even be here.
I would be against this subamendment.
Thank you.
