The standing committee has once again conducted a thorough examination of the bill and, based on its review and the testimony of the witnesses who appeared before it, has agreed to amend the bill as drafted to clarify specific provisions both in the code and in the National Defence Act, which has a parallel scheme to cover members found not criminally responsible for an offence under the National Defence Act.
Le comité permanent a fait une étude approfondie du projet de loi et, partant de son examen et des témoignages qu'il a reçus, a accepté de le modifier de manière à clarifier certaines dispositions tant du Code criminel que de la Loi sur la défense nationale, laquelle prévoit aussi un mécanisme à l'égard des personnes non responsables criminellement pour cause de troubles mentaux.
