Section 159 is not included in the substance of the bill we have before us. Whether we are talking about various sexual activities, the age of consent or anything else, this is not included in this bill. With all due respect for the opposite opinion, the amendment labelled LIB-1 which is similar to NDP-3, should not be debated because our committee does not intend to repeal provisions in an act. I understand the position of the other party very well, but I think that from a technical and substantive perspective, we could not touch it.
