Thank you, Chair.
The reason I'm bringing this up is that this is a critical component to the safety of those who are experiencing domestic violence specifically. I think that's the intent behind this. If that's the case, we should not limit the legislation to say only a court can impose this, right? The government has made this as a subamendment. They may want to consider making some changes to it.
Now, I've said my piece about that. What I want to go on to is, can the officials explain to me again why this is in the act when the forms that these people have been released on for many other things in the Criminal Code list a number of conditions you can place on an accused, including these.
I think somebody did explain previously, but I didn't get all of it. Why is this again being put into the act, as opposed to having the Criminal Code deal with the release conditions?
