Almost.
I wanted to indicate, regarding NDP-5, that I would perhaps urge the clerk and the chair to reconsider in light of the Speaker's ruling on Bill C-377 last week. It was very clear that the Speaker ruled that the Canada Revenue Agency had the capacity, in the existing system, to take on added burden and added cost when it came to that bill.
The rationale is exactly the same here. We already have provision in the Criminal Code for exactly the kind of legal assistance we're talking about. Section 684 already has the Attorney General covering costs.
So it is a line item. It already exists in the estimates. All we're doing is adding a burden to something that already exists. That's the pure rationale of the Speaker.
I honestly don't believe this one would require royal recommendation if we took seriously the Speaker's ruling last week.
