Mr. Speaker, I had mentioned that the bill still contains very subjective language.
The particular provision that stood out to me relates a person who finds somebody committing a criminal offence. In the area of environmental law, we could actually file a complaint to the government if we believed on reasonable grounds that somebody was violating an environmental law. Simply filing a request to the government to investigate is a far less serious action than allowing people to intervene. I have some concern about whether people really understand what the boundaries are for what people can do to them and what they can do in response.
I think it would be very important to monitor the applications of this law, how people respond to it and what kind of cases come before the courts.
