Thank you, Mr. Chairman. If I might perhaps clarify a bit, I believe the honourable Member is referring to section 6.1.(2) which refers to where a Member, after his or her election, is convicted of an offence under the Criminal Code punishable on summary conviction. Clause (a) and clause (b) quality which offences it is that the bill is referring to. It is only referring to those two offences in that provision, so it would not include offences pursuant to Bill C-68 or any other federal or territorial legislation. Those would have to be caught, as Mr. Dent has said, under (c) jurisdiction in 6.2.
