Justice committee  Yes. I have sympathy for the crown in not wanting to excessively disclose what's going on in the midst of a case. If I were drafting legislation—and no draft legislation is ever going to be perfect—I don't need to know everything that's going on; I need to know major hurdles th

Justice committee  Well, it's potentially difficult. In concept, it would be nice if that information could be presented without there having to be a request. I think the issue then goes to what information is going to be presented, and—

Justice committee  Thanks again for having me appear before this committee. For those who don't know, my name is Greg Gilhooly. My claim to fame, for lack of a better phrase, is that for a number of years I was victimized by hockey coach Graham James, perhaps Canada's most notorious convicted seri

Justice committee  Absolutely. Absent the immunity, my first answer is going to be no, because the easy lawyer answer is no. Show me your warrant. Absent a warrant, I don't have to do it. I'm not doing it. It makes it very difficult for me to do the right thing. That's the issue that you were raisi

Justice committee  And this statute is going to have to remain a living thing, because that will change over time as information and the ability to get it change. This will have to be a living and breathing document.

Justice committee  I'm going to speak to this in a different context. I believe you're going to be hearing from the Canadian Centre for Child Protection later this week. I come at this concept from having been groomed in terms of the offences that were done to me. If someone had taken a close loo

Justice committee  Fortunately enough, the way the legislation is crafted, that too is subject to judicial oversight. There would have to be reason for the other type of administrator to be involved in the searching and uncovering of the information, the production of the information down the road.

Justice committee  Just to pick up on that, when we talk about a tie going one way or the other, we're not talking about one side having charter rights and one side not having charter rights. Remember, Rehtaeh Parsons had charter rights to live a secure life. The criminal gets involved in the situa

Justice committee  No.

Justice committee  There is almost a difference between policing and prosecution, when you get down to thinking about it. We have some very technical arguments here about how to ensure the legislation complies so that we can end up with charter-proof prosecutions of criminals. I'm, firstly, worrie

Justice committee  No.

Justice committee  Thanks very much for having me. I consider it an honour to be here, and I have spent the past several weeks reading up on what the committee's been up to. I must say that as a citizen I'm encouraged by the way the committee is dealing with this as a political issue and not as a p
