Yes, we are obviously supportive of an amendment that would prohibit anyone convicted of sexual assault of an animal no longer being able to be in contact with animals. As long as the offence stays in the sexual offences and the prohibition is put into 447(1) around the prohibition order, that's fine. We do advocate strongly that this particular offence remain in section 160 and isn't moved to the animal cruelty section, because it is a sexual offence and it should be recognized as a sexual offence.
