Actually, I'd like to make it clear that it is indeed the political intention that interests us here. I would beg you to hear the political imperative and the political message that new legislation of this kind could also convey.
Of course, as people have been saying for years, there's a need for better training of police officers, judges and the entire justice system on this and other issues.
We think these new legislative measures truly round out the legal arsenal. There are still some technical details that need to be worked out, and we are in full agreement on that. The key for us is to finally close the gap in the legislation.
As Ms. Stephens has explained very well, there are certain offences in the Criminal Code that could be charged, but they are not well used. Just because we do things wrong doesn't mean that we can't think about how to make them better.
That's the point for us. Together with legal experts, we need to take the time to look at the ins and outs of the issue and see what has been done elsewhere. Indeed, it has been done elsewhere. It exists. We really think it would be an important complement, as a working tool, including for police officers.
