Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I thank my colleagues for their interventions. I have a question for the officials.
It seems to be quite clear that the amendment proposed would undermine the constitutionality of the safety valve, which, I may point out, is fully supported by a Conservative member, more specifically the member for Kamloops-Thompson-Nicola, who is in full agreement with the use of the safety valve. I want to know if it is your understanding that it also limits judicial flexibility.
This isn't about going easy on anyone. It's about making sure that the law works for the people it's intended to protect. I would like your thoughts on that.
