Again, Mr. Chair, I encourage you to strongly consider Mr. MacKenzie's recommendation that this amendment is out of order, and to hear from Ms. Campbell, if necessary.
Mr. Davies' amendment, although I think it is well intentioned, is going to lead to all sorts of judicial review applications, because there are some factors that are simply not applicable in many cases.
Again, I look at proposed paragraph 10(1)(g) “the offender's health”. If there are no health issues to be raised, the minister cannot possibly consider that factor. Therefore, it's going to invariably lead to a judicial review application saying that the minister didn't consider all the things he was required to consider. But in many, many cases he will not be able to.
So I think Mr. MacKenzie is correct. I think this amendment is out of order. I would really like to hear from Mrs. Campbell on this point.
