Okay.
We need to get acting on bail reform as well. Minister Fraser was quoted yesterday as saying that he will personally, over the next number of weeks, be engaging “to make sure that we fully, first, understand the nature of the concerns being addressed”. If the minister will be taking the next few weeks to consult further on the mistake he has made with his deal with the Bloc, we at this committee should not rush to finish the clause-by-clause review of Bill C-9. We too should take a few weeks to reflect on the proposed amendments and devote our time to more pressing matters, such as Bill C-14.
I would like to move this motion, Mr. Chair: That, given the Minister of Justice is in Ottawa today, the committee invite him to appear immediately in relation to Bill C-14 with respect to bail and sentencing, followed immediately by clause-by-clause consideration of Bill C-14, followed by clause-by-clause consideration of Bill C-9.
