Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Bill

Perhaps I may trespass on the goodwill of the Committee for a moment. In this Bill, we are adapting the ordinary law of manslaughter to companies. The amendment would change the ordinary law of manslaughter from that requiring gross negligence, defined as something falling far below the ordinary standard of care, and make, for some reason, companies more liable than ordinary individuals. We cannot amend the ordinary law of manslaughter in this Bill.
