I know that the code of conduct for members of the House of Commons currently applies to sexual harassment. It would be very tempting to say that we will simply remove the words “sexual” and “sex” wherever they appear in the code and that this will solve the problem. However, that would only be the beginning of the work. If there were a political will to make all forms of harassment subject to the code of conduct, we would have to do that work, but we would also have to look at the other exceptions in parliamentary proceedings, as I mentioned earlier. It's slightly more complex than removing the words “sexual” or “sex” when they appear in the code. Other consequential amendments must also be made.
