Thank you, Mr. Chair. I would like to move onto the second motion, which is the second recommendation from the Committee.
I move that this Assembly recommend that the Elections and Plebiscites Act be amended to include a five-year limit on eligibility for candidacy for anyone convicted of an offence of violence or threats of violence under the Criminal Code of Canada and who has not received a pardon or record suspension; and where the offence was committed against a person over whom the accused was determined by the presiding judge to be in a position of trust, authority, or intimacy; and, if applicable, that the limitation not apply to offences committed before the coming-into-force date of this amendment; and that a consequential amendment of Section 6 of the Legislative Assembly and Executive Council Act ensure consistency of qualification of sitting Members and candidates. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
