Thank you very much.
I should preface my response by saying I'm certainly not an expert in the committee's procedure, and I would also preface it by saying that the firm view of the CBA is still that the most appropriate response to section 159 would be a complete repeal. So I would far from suggest that any other measure would be a complete or appropriate response. However, I'm not sure that the same effect couldn't be accomplished by way of amendments to section 151, the section that does set out the age of consent defence for sexual offences. That section lists a number of sexual offences. I'm not sure that we couldn't accomplish the same end by adding section 159 to the list of offences in section 150.1. Again, that's something to consider as a way around. The CBA's position, though, is that the only really appropriate response is a full repeal of section 159.
