Yes. The crux of this amendment here would be to constrain the Crown discretion that Bill C-16 proposes to provide.
Right now, Bill C-16 says that we know our Crown attorneys are educated, know their role as a minister of justice and can make the appropriate determinations. Especially when it comes to communication evidence, which in certain cases can be vast, they want to be able to exercise that discretion, make the appropriate redactions and get that disclosed to defence, so they don't have to wait until the eleventh hour, right before trial, when they get that trial judge assigned, in order to get a production order.
