Thank you, Professor Cyr.
I would ask a question of all of the witnesses. When we talk about a public health evil, which was noted for example in the Torys' opinion.... In the Torys' opinion, the dissenting opinion of Chief Justice McLachlin was cited at paragraph 38, wherein Chief Justice McLachlin stated that the criminal law power cannot be employed to “promote beneficial medical practices”. It is the argument in the Torys' opinion that when you unpack the purpose of this legislation, it really goes toward promoting a good public health practice as opposed a health evil.
Perhaps you could comment on that opinion.
