Thank you so much, witnesses, for appearing before committee today. I appreciate your intervention.
One of the issues we've been wrestling with—certainly it has come up again and again to committee—is the issue of automatically registering sex offenders. Certainly, the point has been made, and made clearly, for the importance of having a list that covers all the right people and that you don't have people who should be on the list not getting on it.
Some people have expressed the concern that judicial discretion has allowed a number--you showed the statistics there--to not appear on the list. That creates holes. Conversely, we've had individuals express privacy concerns. There are instances where judicial discretion might be required. I'm wondering what your feeling is about the efficacy of automatic registration. Are there instances where it might not be appropriate for people to be on that list and yet they are getting on that list because there isn't the opportunity for judicial discretion, in your opinion?
Secondly, maybe with particular relation to an offence like voyeurism, which I can absolutely see as being a very serious offence that requires somebody being put on the list, can you also see a lesser offence of voyeurism where that may not be appropriate? How does that line get drawn without judicial discretion?
