Thank you, Mr. Chair.
There are parallels with other types of behaviour that I think need to be considered.
With something like psychosis, generally it's understood that it's a partial break from reality or a partial difference in perception. I think the way we're talking about extreme intoxication may be oversimplified in reality, and we need to consider the fluidity of the impacts of extreme intoxication.
I think that's a really important consideration and the impression of victims of crime should be considered in that, as has been recommended, but I think it's an oversimplification to assume that there's a complete disconnect that's permanent throughout the complete duration of an offence.
