I thank you for your quick answers, because I think that's the reality that we're dealing with here today. There was a reality before, but then there's the reality in the law, and that's what, with this private member's bill, we are vested with today.
I think I've seen some of the dangers of simply abolishing section 43 that have been highlighted. Mr. Lutes, you mentioned—and we heard previous testimony on this—the chilling effect it could have on teachers when it comes to breaking up a fight. As a parent, I find that remark kind of horrifying, when you think someone is being beaten by a classmate or by a couple of classmates. You only have to look on your social media to see that this is happening all over. It's being posted. I know you're from Nova Scotia. I'm from New Brunswick, but we're seeing this across the country and internationally. There are videos of fights at school. It's not an easy environment that teachers are in.
Can you speak to this chilling effect? What message would you as a leader be sending to your teachers if this protection was not there?
