Good morning. I would like to thank you all for the quality of your presentations. I think we all support this clause in the bill.
We discussed statistics earlier on, and you yourselves have already presented other statistics. It would seem that only 8% of sexual offences are reported to the police. Once they were and charges were laid, etc., statistics show that 62% of reported sex offences, in 2002-2003, were either stayed or did not go any further.
Only 8% of cases are reported, and out of that, 62% do not make it to trial or do not lead to a conviction. We can adopt any legislation we like, but we still need to do more.
What do you propose to better protect our children? My question is for Ms. Mackinnon or Ms. Lynn Barr-Telford.
