Thank you, Mr. Chair. I will assure you that I will not take five minutes.
I just have clarification on one question that my colleague Mr. Paul-Hus asked. It's around clause 23. With respect to the preamble and what's talked about in clause 25 regarding the list and the schedule of offences, I know it has been suggested that clause 23, specifically subclause 23(2), might still have some ambiguity on the expansion of offences that might be included at some point down the road with the Governor in Council.
I just need clarification around how you would interpret the current language and whether this is more of a closed offence type of expungement, which is listed here, the family of offences being listed, or is there the possibility with this language that it can be opened up to almost anything that current governments, however they might change, can expunge records on beyond this?
