I hope that I can be constructive on this point. The Minister will be aware that I have tabled amendment No. 64. It would add to the recklessness test a determination of whether a person"““is reckless as to whether the statement will have that effect””—"
an encouragement or an inducement—"““upon reasonable members of the public.””"
That measure would deal precisely with the problem because if I said something that I thought that a reasonable member of the public might take to be an inducement, I would be guilty—I could understand that. The problem that we all have at present is that if I say something that I know that a very unreasonable member of the public might take to be an inducement, I would undoubtedly be caught.
