Thank you, Chair.

I would like to talk a little bit more about the explicit provision in the Criminal Code for an HIV offence.

Absent somewhat perverse outcomes whereby victims of rape themselves are charged with aggravated assault, if we had a specific provision in the Criminal Code for this, would it preclude charges under provisions for attempted murder, for administering a noxious substance, and so forth?
