Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Ms. May sends her greetings. She hopes to be here at committee at some point. It probably won't be tonight, but she may be through tomorrow night.
NDP-3 is recommended by the National Association of Women and the Law and other organizations. It is perhaps similar to CPC-17, but would add an additional element, which is that an individual “is not eligible to hold a licence if they are subject to a protection order”—which is current—“or have been convicted of an offence in the commission of which violence was used, threatened or attempted against their intimate partner or any member of their family.”
It addresses some of the concerns of CPC-17, but also adds those “convicted of an offence in the commission of which violence was used”.
I move NDP-3.
