Mr. Speaker, there are many concerns about this legislation, that this legislation compromises many fundamental and key principles of our justice system.
One of the concerns about investigative hearings is that upsets the usual practice of the courtroom. It upsets the usual role of a judge in those circumstances. It actually puts the judge and prosecutors into the role of investigators, something that is not their normal role in the judicial process in a court hearing, and something for which many people believe they do not have a particular background or training to play that kind of role in our judicial system.
I wonder if the member might comment on that fundamental shift in the role of judge and prosecutor.
