Well, again, there are so many different aspects to this. First and foremost, of course, is removing some individual who is in a position to sexually abuse and exploit young people. That's the first benefit, quite frankly, of sentencing an individual and getting them out of the milieu in which they are exploiting other people.
It also sends the right message out, in my opinion. One of the amendments we are making is to make sure, among other things, that house arrest, or conditional sentencing—you heard me refer to that in my opening remarks—is not available, because it actually hurts people's confidence in the criminal justice system. People who are in the business of sexually abusing children or assaulting people, if they get a conditional sentence.... Nobody, I think, wants that kind of message to be sent out there.
The bill covers a wide range of sexual offences, and there's a consistency with it. I'm sure that in your examination of this, not just with me but with the departmental officials and the other witnesses, that will come through loud and clear. This sends out a consistent message that this type of behaviour will not be tolerated.
