Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I can't believe that the NDP is suggesting that we put a sunset provision on an offence within the Criminal Code. I can't imagine for a moment what would happen if we were to do this or if the NDP were to suggest that we do this on every single offence within the Criminal Code.
I find it very strange that they've put a sunset provision on this so that it will cease to be in effect at the end of the date specified. Considering the fact that if they legitimately thought there was a problem with this offence, they must have recognized the fact that there would be problems fairly quickly and that it would have to be addressed much sooner than this particular date in this provision. I find it unbelievable that they would even suggest putting a sunset clause on this type of offence. I can't believe it.
