Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my colleague for his comments and for his party's support of the bill.
One of the changes we would be making is in how the provinces operate their witness protection program. Currently, it is very difficult for them to get identity documents for people under provincial witness programs because they have to go through quite a difficult process with the RCMP. We would be changing that so they could now be federally designated, which would have no costs associated with it. In fact, it would save the provinces money, time and resources.
I wonder if my colleague would be able to comment on that and how he feels it would affect the people he represents, specifically in the province of Quebec.
