I think Ms. Morency has some statistics on how many charges have been laid with respect to sexual exploitation.
On the statistics that Mr. Comartin quoted, I believe he extrapolated from American sources with respect to how many children at the age of 14 and 15 are sexually active. I believe he said there are a little over 800,000 Canadian children at the ages of 14 or 15. He extrapolated from there that there might be 125,000 children who are sexually active. That is not to say that a majority, or even a lot of that group, are in sexual relationships with somebody five or more years older than them. That would be going too far.
With respect to the rationale for the age of 16, I believe there is a consensus in Canada that the age of 14 is too low and that it should be raised. I quoted to you a number of jurisdictions that have justice systems somewhat similar to our own.
