Mr. Chair, the argument really goes back again to recognize the distinction between the meaning of a record suspension and the obligation that Parliament has imposed for applying for a record suspension under the Criminal Records Act and putting something on CPIC. They're there for different purposes. Really, what the Criminal Records Act reflects is Parliament's judgment about the severity of offences and how long one must wait before acquiring the benefit of a record suspension.
CPIC is really a tool for law enforcement. It absolutely has collateral consequences for a person to be included in the identification data bank, but they're there for different purposes. One is meant to reflect Parliament's and society's judgment about offences and how long you have to wait to get a record suspension. The other one, in terms of CPIC, is a tool for law enforcement, so they're meant for different purposes.
