Thank you for the question.
Again, it goes back to the point that what we're talking about here is an offence that deals with individuals who are participating in an unlawful assembly or in a riot. This isn't going to apply every day on the streets. I want to make that very clear. I hope that's been made clear. I think it's important that is clear. It's not intended to apply every day on the streets. It's not intended to apply to individuals who are legitimately at a peaceful public gathering of any type. It's only intended to deal with individuals who are participating in an unlawful assembly or a riot.
As I mentioned, there are provisions for lawful excuse. Certainly medical bandages, as I said, and religious head coverings, are a couple of good examples of that. What this is intended to do is to deal with individuals who are participating in an unlawful assembly or a riot. By this very definition, this means that there is now tumultuous activity taking place. This is, as I've stated a number of times, comprised of things like objects being thrown through windows, vehicles being lit on fire, innocent individuals being assaulted. When that kind of activity is taking place, those who are there for peaceful purposes generally are looking to flee the scene, to leave the area. I certainly think that would be what most reasonable individuals would do.
