Mr. Speaker, I have tremendous respect for the crucial work that Quebec has done on advance requests. Canada has one Criminal Code, and for good reason. Canadians deserve consistent standards and clarity about what is criminal. There is no quick way to safely allow an exception for Quebec on this issue. The conversation does not end here, though. We are committed to working with Quebec to determine the next steps.
