Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for your attendance and your expertise.
Following up with a question that was asked by our colleague, Ms. Boivin, I'm curious as to why the non-decision was made to put a chronological age in the legislation. As you know, with respect to certain provisions of the act, it's an aggravating factor when the victim or the person being abused is under the age of 18.
I'm curious as to why a specific chronological age wasn't used for the protection of elders.
