Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I'll start by thanking Mr. Levasseur for bringing his very powerful personal testimony. I think that, as parliamentarians, we don't often credit the bravery and the difficulty for people to do that, so I thank him very personally.
However, I think you've done something else very important in addition to that, and that is that you've taken us back to the first causes. Why did we ever decide that violence against children was acceptable, as non-indigenous Canadians? I'd like you to say a bit more about that difference, which you talked about in your opening statement, that causes us to say, even today, “You can't use force against adults, but with children it's somehow okay.”
