Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Carrie, thank you for coming to present your bill to us this afternoon.
Bill S‑224 repeals the interpretive provision providing a non-exhaustive list of factors such as a threat, deception or abuse of power that the court may consider in determining whether exploitation or intent to exploit has occurred. There's existing case law on this, namely the Sinclair decision, which dates back several years. The current definition of exploitation was included in the Criminal Code in 2005. That's 17 years of case law.
What will become of all that after your bill passes?
