Dave MacKenzie at the Public Safety and National Security Committee

Thank you, Chair.

Thanks to the members for being here today.

We had a witness before us earlier this week, and he has been outspoken about the shortcomings of the act. One of the things he wasn't aware of, it seems, is that the criminal record follows the individual. It doesn't specifically say that in the Witness Protection Program Act, but there is another act that obviously applies. Perhaps you could tell us why the criminal record follows the individual and not the name.
