Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Although we had presented to some of you Justice's position on the act, somehow when we addressed the Youth Criminal Justice Act we did not specifically deal with this section, so we need some time to again concur with the Minister of Transportation on readdressing it. So the answer is really, no.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I think it is important that, if we do have to make revisions to this because of that court ruling elsewhere, that we do it. Can the Minister of Justice get back to the House if there are any changes to the legislation in case it does have an effect on this legislation? We should know as soon as possible. That could be a controversial issue if we find out that judges cannot place these types of sentences on young offenders because of the new ruling.

Mr. Chairman, that's a fairly technical, legal issue, whether it would apply or how to apply, so I'd like to ask Ms. Veinott to comment on that.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Because of the nature of what would be the new section 92, I don't anticipate that the Quebec matter would have any impact. It's simply a provision that indicates that if an order is vacated, a new licence can be issued or the disqualification is terminated. So I don't think it can have an effect on the new section 92. But not having had an opportunity to review the case, I don't think I can comment with complete certainty, but my expectation is that it would not have any impact.
