This bill will establish the Office of the Commissioner for Children and Young Persons in Canada. The measures provided in this bill do not appear to be outside federal jurisdiction. It does not appear to violate the Constitution, including the charter. There's no similar private member's bill that had been voted on in the current session, and there's no government bill already voted on in the current session. Once again, there might be a need for a royal recommendation for the adoption of this bill, but that is not a question for the subcommittee to decide.
On June 19th, 2012. See this statement in context.
