We do believe that the full definition should be included in the bill itself. There are a few reasons for this, which echo some of the concerns that have already been reiterated. First, we currently have a government that has shown some willingness and desire to improve the culture of harassment here. The catch is that politics are fickle. We don't know who will be in government five, 10, or 15 years from now. I have concerns, and our union has concerns, about whether or not anything left up to regulation can be changed without public accountability through the House of Commons. While we currently seem to have agreement amongst this committee to actually move forward in a positive way, if we were ever to hit a situation in which a government was not that open and not that willing, they could water down the definition as it stands. We don't want to allow for that without them having to go through the House and having that accountability.
