Mr. Gendron, in your remarks you made reference to the fact that section 176 of the Criminal Code is a deterrent. I don't think many Canadians were well aware that this section even existed before this bill came forward. I would like you to expand on your remarks. Do you really think that specific sections of the Criminal Code are a deterrent by themselves or is it more a matter of how the law is applied through case law and so on? In your opinion, what acts as more of a deterrent and what would be more effective?
