It's actually a suggestion.
Mr. Caputo said that a subamendment would be necessary and perhaps that my proposal is along those lines. Based on our discussion, I think we could agree to avoid the trap of filing an application for review the day after an unfavourable verdict on the ground that the deadline for appeal must first have expired. It would be automatic: a person whose review application is taken up by the commission would not be able to appeal. The idea is that a person who has been convicted must first exhaust his or her appeal rights. A person who decides to apply to the commission would not then be able to challenge a decision in appellate court. What I'm proposing could be viewed as a compromise.
It's also a question that we could put to Ms. Dekker or a suggestion for the committee.
