To be fair—and we'd have to look back at the transcript, as I said—I think the scenario he was reflecting on was the offence under section 244.2, not subsection 244.2(2) of the bill. That is another offence that addresses similar conduct but different conduct.
The offence in section 244 is as you described, sir, in terms of the specific intent to wound, maim or disfigure. Section 244.2 had its genesis in scenarios in which it may be difficult to prove a specific intent to wound but there was an appreciation that the consequences of discharging the firearm could put somebody at risk. That's the recklessness element of section 244.2: The accused turns their mind to the fact that they don't know with certainty that the building that they are about to shoot at is occupied, but they strongly suspect it is and they decide to discharge in any event, without regard to the consequences. That's the scenario I think section 242.2 was speaking to.
