Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you for this excellent presentation.
I'll start with Ms. Sheehy. If we're talking about codifying consent so that we can clarify the rules for these very disturbing cases that have to be tried, do we still not have the problem that judges decide to interpret what consent means all the time?
Right now in Quebec, we have a case of a judge who, over the sexual assault of a teenage girl in a cab, was suggesting that there are different levels of consent, that just because the guy took a 17-year-old girl and started kissing her without her consent, that required a lesser level of consent than if he did other physical acts against her. They're still acts of violence. How do we codify this if we still have judges who will ignore the basic rights of a victim?
