Mr. Speaker, my colleague from across the way said that we cannot make laws that are retroactive, so I would like my colleague on this side to rationalize how the government can make Bill C-68 retroactive. Licensing and privacy and everything else aside, it can make that retroactive. Why can it not make a sex offender registry retroactive? It seems like a double standard.
