Thank you, Minister.
Not to belabour the point, but I do think it needs to be put on the record that in Bill C-84 the definition provided is the following:
In this section, bestiality means any contact, for a sexual purpose, with an animal.
In 2017, my colleague, the honourable member for Calgary Nose Hill, introduced a private member's bill, Bill C-388. The wording in Bill C-388 is as follows:
In this section, bestiality means any contact by a person, for a sexual purpose, with an animal.
Again, it's identical language. Why didn't the government get behind Bill C-388 more than a year ago?
