Thanks very much.

I'd ask the minister if this bill will help and if there were any cases. I wonder if you could let us know if there were any cases acquitted under the previous provisions in the Criminal Code, cases you would be able to get a conviction on this time with the new law. In that vein, are there any current or ongoing files right now that the minister intends to prosecute with these measures once this law is passed?
