Thank you, Mr. Chair.
This legislation in front of us does not have the mandatory reporting provisions that were in an earlier draft. I think it's really important for us to discuss and consider some of these questions and whether they should be part of a future piece of legislation. Certainly the goal with this bill is to pass the parts that everybody agrees on, and then we can sort of see and explore what maybe should or should not be added. I think we got great feedback today to the effect that we may even want to provide a report independently of this legislation or study other ways to combat this issue.
Dr. Gill, because it's sort of related to the broader issue, I do want to probe the question of mandatory reporting a bit.
Right now there are certain situations for which mandatory reporting is required. Gunshot wounds are the most obvious example, but I think it would apply to sexual abuse as well. I wonder if you can speak to the dynamics around the currently mandatory reporting in those cases and what we can learn from those situations that might or might not be applicable to mandatory reporting in this case.
