    "content": "I get the feeling that a lot of provisions in this Bill, which is a good Bill and I support it, have come out of a lot of paranoia and fear of what might not happen with the procedure. The piece of law that has primacy on issues of evidence is the Evidence Act. It will be difficult to create a provision that stands alone here that either negates the provisions of the Evidence Act or that could actually be abused. Either way, even the provision that is coming, the judge has discretion as to whether or not to receive evidence at the first instance. It is not proper to introduce something that may contravene the Evidence Act which has primacy on evidence on all criminal and civil matters within our courts."
