Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
NDP-20 is similar to the last NDP amendment.
This would eliminate Bill C-16's exception to the safety valve for particular offences, which currently increases the likelihood of charter rights violations, particularly for racialized people, who are overrepresented in the criminal justice system.
We cannot pick and choose when it comes to charter rights. We must ensure that they are upheld for everyone, so I urge my colleagues to vote in favour of this amendment.
