Mr. Speaker, the plans of the government remain unchanged. We do expect that the discussion paper will be available before the end of the month and we intend, as I said I believe in April, to have the register in place at least by adapting the CPIC computer system in the fall of this year.
The Solicitor General made clear yesterday that his ministry and mine are at work with interested parties including the provinces in making the arrangements to make it possible before the end of the year by adapting the CPIC system to have a reliable registry of those convicted of sexual abuse of children so that we can ensure public safety in this important respect.
