If I may, Mr. Chair, it's for the structure of the bill, of course, that I'm putting in the amendment for “meaningful human contact” in my eleventh amendment.
My twelfth amendment provides the definition, and the definition comes from wording.... It's quite interesting that one of the only countries where we could find a definition of “meaningful human contact” is Ireland. We've drawn the amendment from that. It was recommended very strongly by the Elizabeth Fry Society, the John Howard Society, the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, the East Coast Prison Justice Society and so on.
The definition of “meaningful human contact”, for instance, suggests that you're close enough together that you can have a conversation, that you're allowed to have a normal direct physical contact that is not mediated by such things as bars, restraints, security glass or screens. It's sustained and intentional.
That's the longer definition. I don't need to read it in now. If it were a concern for accepting the language that we don't have a definition, we will have a definition if you're prepared to go along with these amendments.
Thank you.
