Justice committee  Thank you for your question. I think I will start answering the question by reiterating what the minister said when he was here, which was that if Bill S‑12 is enacted, everybody who receives a conviction for a sex offence will be required to register, unless they can demonstrate that the registry is overbroad or grossly disproportionate.

Justice committee  They will be presumed to be registered under the proposals in Bill S-12. That is the answer. They're all presumed to be registered. What the bill does is list risk factors, as well, for judges to use to exercise their discretion. Those factors were intended to counter the criticisms and concerns raised by the minority judgment to curb the risk they saw in judicial discretion.

Justice committee  No, that covers it.
