Excuse me, I don't mean to be rude, but I have about a minute or less of my speaking time left. I want to make sure I cover the various aspects of this.
My colleague Mr. Mendicino, whom I hold in high regard, spoke earlier about corporal punishment being an assault on children.
As we know, these words have a very violent connotation. I think an act as extreme as assaulting a child is unacceptable as it is. However, section 43 mentions the use of force. I would like us to examine the distinctions we need to make. If I correctly understand your testimony, there are none to make. You say that the only people who can be hit are children.
That is obviously not what we want, but the idea of the use of force seems to me much broader than the act of hitting. The use of force could include all kinds of behaviours.
