Thank you very much.
So I do share the concerns. I hope we'll have committee business on the agenda for Thursday so that we can revisit the question of how quickly we proceed, especially with the concern I raised earlier about the parole board apparently declining to appear on legislation that will affect their operations to a very large degree. We'll have a look at that correspondence to see if that is in fact true.
Mr. Sullivan and Ms. Latimer, I want to focus my questioning on a couple of things you raised. We heard previously from a representative of the Quebec victims group. She made a distinction in this bill between those convicted of murder and the schedule I offences. I think both of you also made reference to that.
When Ms. O'Sullivan was here as the victims ombudsman, she said that it was not her original recommendation. Hers was limited to murder only, and not the schedule I offences.
Perhaps I could hear just a bit more from both of you, Ms. Latimer and Mr. Sullivan, on that distinction between those convicted of murder and the schedule I offences.
