It would have been my preference if the response to my recommendations would have had the minister stating clearly that he directed the Department of Justice to draft legislation accordingly. That would have been my preference, absolutely, but that's not the response I got. The response I received is that the minister isn't excluding legislation, but he has made the request to your committee to study it and make recommendations, including assessing the merits of something similar to the Prison Rape Elimination Act of the United States.
