Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you both for being here.
Ms. Des Rosiers, you may disagree, but the minister has already addressed the issue of constitutionality. That is a part of the review process, which goes into all of this. You mentioned Lord Macdonald and his emphasis on prevention. I think we would all agree that prevention is better than reaction after an event.
You testified against Bill C-17 on February 10, 2011. You said that Bill C-17 creates “a precedent for other countries in the world who will look to and use the Canadian precedent”. I guess, not to put words in your mouth, that's perceived as a dangerous precedent.
Are you aware of what other countries are doing, such as the U.K. and Australia, for example, which have much more severe measures than what we're proposing?
