Minister, you introduced Bill C-9, and I'd like to know what the intentions were with respect to violent versus non-violent crimes. There seems to be a problem here. Some crimes might not, at first sight, seem violent. However, when individuals commit these crimes, it leads to more violence toward children, young women, be it sexual assaults, incest or other offences. I would like to hear your comments on this.
