Mr. Chairman, I thank the minister for his answer. I wonder, though, if he could address the second part of my question. In subclause 22(1) it states that the minister has the discretion as to how the things being seized are to be disposed of. Should it not be the courts that decide how things are to be disposed of and not the minister?
In the House of Commons on November 24th, 1997. See this statement in context.
