Thank you.
On Monday we heard testimony regarding the mistaken belief in consent from a couple of witnesses who said that the changes here and the attempt to codify Ewanchuk would effectively eliminate any mistaken belief in consent as a defence, both in law and in fact. As I understand it, the codification of Ewanchuk is meant to reflect the law, which is that you cannot have a mistaken belief in consent as it pertains at law, but that it would still exist as a matter of fact.
I'm wondering if you can explain your thoughts on whether or not it would effectively eliminate any mistaken belief in consent defence.
