Mr. Chair, briefly, I put to the Department of Justice witnesses whether or not they were aware of any appellate case law that dealt with a charter-compliant consideration with respect to this section. They referenced one lower court decision in Ontario.
My suggestion is that we adjourn debate and voting on that particular clause until such time as that particular case is tabled for consideration, because one of the issues addressing one of the witness's comments was that he was unaware whether or not that decision spoke to charter compliance with respect to the second or subsequent offence issue. I think it's important for this committee to have that information before us.
