Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I think our NDP colleague's concern is valid. In my opinion, the problem is that production as such is not defined in Bill C‑16 and that could open the door to a distorted interpretation.
I am not the one who decides, but I think it is appropriate for the Minister of Justice to look into the matter so that, in a subsequent review, a definition of production can be introduced.
I'm sharing my concern with you, but, as I said, I'm going to have to vote against the amendment at this stage. In addition, it comes up in a number of other places in the NDP amendments and, unfortunately, the problem is the same: Production is not defined. It would therefore be problematic to support it.
Thank you.
