Motions Respecting Senate Amendments to Bills |
| C-13 |
| An Act to amend the Criminal Code (criminal procedure, language of the accused, sentencing and other amendments) |
| February 1, 2008 — The Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada — That a message be sent to the Senate to acquaint their Honours that this House: |
| agrees with amendments numbered 2, 4, 5 and 6 made by the Senate to Bill C-13, An Act to amend the Criminal Code (criminal procedure, language of the accused, sentencing and other amendments); but |
| disagrees with amendment numbered 1 because it would place an undue burden on judges and does not take into consideration provincial and territorial practices that are currently in place to ensure that accused persons are informed of their language rights; and |
| disagrees with amendment numbered 3 because the Minister of Justice would be unable to comply with the statutory duty imposed by the amendment as provinces and territories do not keep statistics to report on the operation of the language of trial provisions. |
