Thank you once again for taking the time to share your concerns with me
regarding Bill C-10. I have been communicating with many of you for several
weeks now and with others just recently. I would like to assure you that I
have taken all of your concerns very seriously and I sincerely appreciate
all of your feedback. ****

** **

Bill C-10 has been returned to the Senate Chamber with six amendments which
were made by the Government as well as several observations. I am attaching
the observations for you to review. ****

** **

After hearing from over a hundred witnesses over eleven days and for over
fifty hours I was looking forward to having this important Bill extensively
debated in the Senate. Unfortunately, much to my dismay, the Government has
introduced a six hour time limitation which means that this Bill will only
be debated for a maximum of six hours. ****

** **

As you know there are nine different Bills that make up this Omnibus Crime
Bill. Therefore there are many important issues that need to be debated.****

** **

I will express my concerns about the time limitation in the Senate Chamber
and will also share these concerns with you. I will also be speaking at the
Third Reading of Bill C-10 tomorrow. Although there are a number of issues
that I would like to speak on I am limited to a time frame of fifteen
minutes. Unfortunately this means that in my remarks I will only be able to
address a few of the many concerns you, as well as several witnesses that
appeared before the committee, have expressed. ****

** **

Although it appears that we may lose this battle please rest assured that I
never give up and I look forward to the day when we can make changes.
Sadly, many people will suffer in the meantime. This is a tragedy.  ****

** **

I will be tweeting starting on Thursday at 1:30pm eastern time. You can
follow my tweets by visiting www.twitter.com/senjaffer. I will try and
convey to you what I hear from my colleagues.****

** **

Sincerely,****

** **

Honourable Mobina S.B. Jaffer, Q.C.****

Senator for British Columbia****
