Thank you, Mr. Chair.
The officials may need to come in on this, but the current wording is the following:
The application may be made, during the proceedings, to the presiding judge
To me it makes more sense that the application should be made before the proceedings begin. It makes more sense, from our perspective and our discussion; no witnesses came in on this, so far as I'm aware.
Can the Justice officials indicate why it would say “during the proceedings” here?
