I was still quite concerned even when the amendments that resulted in section 718.2 of the Criminal Code were made because that section constitutes a reminder to judges, rather than an obligation, to consider age, victimization and its consequences. I don't think it goes far enough.
As I said earlier, it's very important that we examine both the content of the Criminal Code and the way it's enforced. Very few senior abuse cases are reported to the police and then brought before the courts.
