Thank you for your question, Mr. Bachand.
That is a very good question. Bill C-41 implements a number of the Lamer recommendations, but as I mentioned earlier in the context of talking about victim impact statements, this is the statutory framework. Justice Lamer also made some recommendations that require a regulatory basis, and many of these recommendations need a regulatory backdrop in which to fully function. So there is still work to be done on the Lamer report once Bill C-41 receives royal assent. There will be a requirement to develop a number of regulations to support this scheme, and a good example of that is the victim impact statement scheme. It cannot operate based solely on the statutory framework out there; there has to be a regulatory framework behind it.
There is still a fair amount of work to be done. However, as the JAG mentioned earlier, 28 of those recommendations have already been put in force through regulations. Some of the summary trial recommendations, for example, have been into effect through regulatory change, and some of the evidentiary issues you raised have been put in force through regulatory change. So a mix of modalities and processes will get us there. This bill is key, because it is really the linchpin to put the rest of Lamer into force and into effect.
Until Bill C-41 receives royal assent, we are really at a standstill in this process.
