The intent here is really to capture.... My colleague Ms. Levman, at the previous meeting, mentioned in reference to G-8, which is a very similar amendment to the sexual history regime, that this would clarify that this also applies to other federal statutes, particularly the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. It's to ensure that when the trafficking and smuggling offences that are contained within that act are committed for a sexual purpose, these protections apply then as well.
I'll allow my colleagues later on to speak to the National Defence Act, but there are also amendments in Bill C-16 that would apply these principles within the National Defence Act as well.
