Thanks to the witnesses.
I'm going to ask one question and if we have time, get each of you to respond.
Three years ago, the government introduced some increased penalties for child sexual offences and other sexual offences. In this bill, they are increasing those penalties again. In the intervening period, there was apparently an increase in the incidence of these types of crimes.
Albert Einstein said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Can any of you indicate to me why we should expect that there will be fewer victims as a result of harsher penalties when these penalties are simply an increase that we saw three years ago...?
