This amendment deals with people who have been charged, who have already been granted bail and who are not Canadian citizens or permanent residents. It simply ensures that we have uniformity and are protecting the integrity of the bail system and the justice system by requiring that passports be surrendered. I think most Canadians would probably be shocked to learn that this isn't in the law as it is. This should be very easy and, to Mr. Brock's point earlier, I expect it will be.
I have no further submission.
The laughter I just heard from one of my Liberal colleagues suggests that may not be accurate. I'm baffled as to why.
Thank you.
