Justice committee  No, that's not what I would say. What I would say is about some of the language, which is really what Mr. Woodburn and the CACP spoke about: “to prove the fact”. If that is problematic language, what I would suggest is, as Mr. Denis suggested, don't take an all-or-nothing appro

Justice committee  I've testified on a lot of legislation. Every time legislation is introduced, language is changed. Drafters change language. It's done every day. I think that if there is a will to get this right, there are smart people around this table and there are people who you can go to, pe

Justice committee  Other than the conversation about those words we talked about, these are all things that are done on a regular basis. The conversation about the words is just about the drafting. Otherwise, these are all things that are done on a daily basis.

Justice committee  Both the CACP and Mr. Woodburn on behalf of his association mentioned the “shall prove” or “prove the fact”. Clearly, they see that issue as a potential stumbling block. All of a sudden we're going to have these trials within trials to prove every fact of the case, and defence la

Justice committee  With no doubt, concerning the synopsis and what happened with the case, it is. For instance, let's say it was an 18-month investigation that involved Privacy Act interceptions, including interceptions of encrypted information. Those kinds of things are often part of the synopsis

Justice committee  The bail hearing is not going to proceed if the justice doesn't know why the person is there.

Justice committee  Thank you, sir. Hello. My name is John Muise. I'll give you a quick background because my professional experience is relevant to the issue at hand. I am currently the volunteer director of public safety for Abuse Hurts, a charitable NGO dedicated to the eradication of child sex

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I like the legislation. I'm a dreamer. I'm hoping it will lead to those kinds of additions.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Sure. At the risk of repeating myself, I think this bill is, in effect, overarching legislation. Quite frankly, along with the overarching section, people are saying the minister has an unfettered ability to do what they want. Well, the only difference now is it actually gets pub

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Minimally, Mr. Karygiannis. In terms of enforcement locally around the country, we are at baby steps. When there is actually enforcement, whether it's the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act or Bill C-49 or the Criminal Code, it's more often an accident because there's a unit

Citizenship and Immigration committee  What exactly consultants are doing is not my expertise. The other thing is that human trafficking, from an enforcement perspective in this country, is a very new thing. I can tell you my ex-counterparts in policing, with whom I communicate on a regular basis, all know about Bil

Citizenship and Immigration committee  First I'd recommend that you vote for it. If you don't do some of the things I've suggested, and quite frankly, some of the other things suggested here.... I don't know that the bill is going to do more harm than good, but it's not going to do much good. If you don't add to tha

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I will add two things to that. For me, a child is somebody under the age of 18. Somebody else might think it's someone under the age of 15. So there is a potential, and I think Ms. Dench referred to it. But ultimately, I mentioned one of the other three solutions, and I believe

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you, Mr. Doyle. Thank you for the opportunity to testify before the immigration committee. Just by way of introduction, I'm a retired 30-year veteran of the Toronto Police Service. I retired last year and have been the director of public safety at the Canadian Centre for

Bill C-2 (39th Parliament, 2nd Session) committee  Thank you, Mr. Moore.
