Just briefly on that point, you'll note that there was a recent survey done among Ontario teachers in respect of the raising of the age of protection from 14 to 16, and there was a high preponderance of support for that legislation. I believe, on average, it was about 75% strongly supporting, so the percentage supporting would have been even higher, and that's not inconsistent with other groups in society. I've seen similar types of surveys done years ago where that protection of children is so important. So I think you're speaking for mainstream Canada when you express your concerns, Mr. Thompson.
