Thank you, Mr. Chair. I appreciate your flexibility. I apologize if I have taken too long.
Let me just direct the committee to the fact that the language I've used and proposed for this amendment is exactly the language recommended to us by the Supreme Court of Canada, and it's found at page 74 of the Supreme Court of Canada decision, as follows:
The factors considered in making the decision on an exemption must include evidence, if any, on the impact of such a facility on crime rates, the local conditions indicating a need for such a supervised injection site, the regulatory structure in place to support facility, the resources available to support its maintenance, and expressions of community support or opposition.
That is now reduced in language to something that fits the bill, and it will allow this legislation to be compliant with the charter.
Thank you.
