Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Minister, for being here. It's always a pleasure to have you here.
I want to pick up on your first statements that intoxication doesn't excuse sexual assault. I think that's something that all of us around this table would universally state. We really do have an epidemic on this issue, not only with education but also with how frequently this occurs.
My colleague Ms. Diab picked up on this, and I want to clarify. I took your statement as being a moral statement to say that just because you have had something to drink or a lot of drinks, it does not excuse the fact that you take someone's sexual dignity and that you don't have their consent to do this. Really what we have—and section 33.1 recognizes it—is an excuse in extreme intoxication. It may be rarely used, but it still does exist.
Am I making sense when I say that?
