I just want to put on the record, first of all, that I thank all the witnesses for their very helpful testimony. It's unfortunate we don't have time to ask questions.
I think it was said by one or more of the witnesses today, and if not today it's been said by others, that HIV has been uniquely singled out in aggravated sexual assault provisions of the Criminal Code. I just want to cite that in the Jones case from New Brunswick, an individual was charged pursuant to aggravated sexual assault for transmitting hepatitis C or alleged to have potentially transmitted hepatitis C, but was acquitted on the basis of the Cuerrier test.
As well in the 2012 Boone decision, an individual was charged under aggravated sexual assault for transmitting syphilis but those charges were not pursued. So there are other cases out there.
