I find that very helpful. Thank you.
I just have one last question. Emphasizing that our amendment requires specific intent, it's an intent to commit an offence, which itself requires intent. I'm not sure how the two interact in any way that makes that meaningfully specific intent, but we'll leave that to one side and ask the following. I could be wrong, but my understanding is that the courts have imported at least some elements of subjectivity to the crimes of participating in a riot or an unlawful assembly; it's not simply being caught in either of those that criminalizes it. Is that correct?
I ask because this could prove to be extremely important if this does pass, to make sure that it's clear that the predicate condition involves some form of intention to be part of a riot or an unlawful assembly. Do you know whether or not some elements of intention are part of those offences?
