“We support this bill to protect victims. But Quebec lawyers warn that putting all these rules into one law makes it too complicated to use. What does the member think about that?”
“Mr. Speaker, we support Bill C-16, as does the Barreau du Québec. However, in a statement, it indicated that while it feels the bill’s objectives are laudable, it believes that “incorporating them into a single piece of legislation creates regulatory complexity that will hinder the analysis, review and practical application of these provisions”. What are my hon. colleague’s thoughts on that?”
