The Chair Liberal Anthony Housefather

Thanks for giving me the rest of your time, Mr. Fraser.

I have three short questions, so short answers, please.

Dean Leckey, on the proposed section 156 issue, is the issue, for you, that you're concerned that men today, not benefiting from the close-in-age exemption, will be charged for acts before 2008 where they had sex with 14- or 15-year-olds, or are you concerned that their convictions for something they have been convicted for, for having sex with a 14- or 15-year-old before 2008, will not be expunged?

See context to find out what was said next.
