Mr. Chairman, this is one of those unusual things where we're asking that the present law be maintained. We're not asking for something new to be put in. The notion of “least restrictive measures” is already there. It has affirmed itself over time in the jurisprudence and the like.
What we are saying is that this is a principle, and a constitutional principle, that is not only consistent with rights protection within the corrections system, as I mentioned, but one consistent with the jurisprudence that has interpreted this notion over time. In effect, it is Bill C-10 that purports to remove it. That, in effect, is the amendment. We are, in a sense, saying let's keep the principle that has validated itself over time and ensure that rights remain within the correctional system as constitutionally secure.
