Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you to all of the witnesses, and a special welcome to Mr. Power and Ms. Perka, fellow Edmontonians. Thank you for being here.
Ms. Perka, in your opening comments you anecdotally talked about a situation of an elderly person who had their hair pulled and money was demanded. I think we all agree that this is a significant event. As you may or may not be aware, courts in other jurisdictions, notably B.C. and Ontario, have, under the current wording of section 718, considered an individual's age and frailty as an aggravating factor. Are either of you aware of the Alberta courts ever recognizing age frailty as an aggravating factor for the purposes of sentencing? I am not.
