I am pleased that you referred to subsection 380.1(1). I don't want to start a debate with you, but this applies in a financial context. It is very clear that we wanted it to be a significant impact in a financial context. We aren't talking about $5 here. Everything is relative.
I repeat that section 718 of the Criminal Code is included in the part that deals with sentencing. It affects all kinds of offences that could have been committed. The idea is to make it an aggravating factor for seniors.
But I understand your logic. And I think that my colleagues have understood what we were trying to do, which was to reduce the type of evidence that would have to be established at sentencing. Once it has been shown that an offence was committed, that it had an impact on the victim because of the victim's age and other personal circumstances, including the victim's health and financial situation, that's it, it becomes an aggravating factor. That is the essence of this amendment.
