Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I support the principle of the bill but I have a question on section 6(2). I support the motion as well. However, I do have a legal question to our legal counsel on 6.2, where a Member is, after his or her election, convicted of an offence under the Criminal Code punishable by summary conviction. Since it doesn't say pertaining to only these two, can that also be used, for instance, if Bill C-68 becomes a law? We have a very large population in the NWT that becomes vulnerable of being convicted under that legislation if it is passed in Parliament.
