“Act of war” has different definitions, I guess, nationally or internationally, but my main intention when I tabled this bill, with “act of war”, was to address those individuals who are either members of some armed forces or armed group who attack our men and women in uniform. Again, I am here at this committee to answer questions, but at the same time I'm looking forward to any amendments or any suggestions that would strengthen the spirit of this bill. Again, to answer, on the definition of “act of war”, my intention was to address those people who attack armed forces.
