moved:
Motion No. 3
That Bill C-16, in Clause 3, be amended by adding after line 10 on page 6 the following:
“or a person with the following description (—),”
Motion No. 5
That Bill C-16, in Clause 3, be amended by replacing line 7 on page 8 with the following:
“of A.B., or a person with the following description (—),”
In circumstances where the exact name of the individual sought is unknown to police officers, rather than put in the actual written name of that individual, they could put in a physical description, thus increasing their ability in investigations where the name of the person sought by police for whatever reason could be pencilled in. Obviously this will be at the discretion of the justice of the peace. It is something that will be monitored. It is not an arbitrary or frivolous change to the form that would be included in the warrant.
I would strenuously suggest that this is something to which the government should give due consideration in its adaptation of both amendments with respect to clause 3 in the bill, as they pertain to Form 7 and Form 7.1. For those reasons I would again solicit the support of the House, including the government, with respect to this amendment.
