One can't help but wonder what the purpose is when a bill is proposed that seems to either address an inexistent problem, or provides tools that are unnecessary because they already exist, or seems to provide inadequate tools.
What we really need if we want to stop violence against women and children is more awareness and funding. We need to sensitize children from a very young age, as soon as they come into the country, to the shared Canadian values that we all embrace and enjoy.
One wonders, in a case like this, what the purpose of the law is. I'll only say that it doesn't seem to address a legal problem, and I'll leave it at that.
