No, it's just a comment.
I thank Mr. Lawton, and I hope Monsieur Fortin is satisfied.
I'd like to point out that, in the legislation currently drafted, subclause 23(9) adds a provision at the end. The very last section in the existing section already has an expansion to the list of reverse onus offences—offences that are contrary to the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.
If you look at page 9 of the bill, subclause 23(9) says, “Paragraph 515(6)(a)...is amended”. In subparagraph 23(9)(xiv)—the last part—reverse onus would apply to an offence “under section 117 or 118 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act”.
All we're doing here is adding a couple more...in an attempt to expand a bit on what Bill C-14 is already doing.
