I might just offer one really minor procedural point before answering your questions. We noticed in the numbering that this is numbered as clause 6.1, and the previous CPC amendment also identified clause 6.1, so I don't know if you have to adjust that if both motions are adopted.
To answer your questions on the MMPs, the MMPs for the main human trafficking offence are five years in aggravating circumstances for adult victims and four years in any other case. In respect of child trafficking, which is section 279.011, it's six years in the aggravating circumstances and five years in any other case.
Then there are also MMPs for the material benefit offence, section 279.02, where it is linked to child trafficking, and that is a two-year MMP.
Then the documents offence, which is section 279.03, is a one-year MMP where it involves child trafficking.
The stacking issue that you've asked about is important in this context, because the concern that had been identified with a similar amendment that was passed by Parliament through a private member's bill but never brought into force was that, if it was brought into force, mandatory minimum penalties would be stacked back to back to back, and that would create potential charter concerns under section 12. It is the presence of the mandatory minimum penalties that creates the stacking risk more than the maximum penalties.
