We're talking about sending someone to prison. I tend to agree that we need to crack down on that kind of crime. I have no pity for someone who abuses or sells the sexual services of another person. Indeed, I think they should be punished. Nevertheless, as legislators, we must be diligent in our work. We're talking about sending someone to prison, and there is no room for error.
We made a choice. People can agree or disagree, but our society decided that it would rather let criminals walk free than put innocent people in prison. That's called the presumption of innocence. If someone is not found guilty of a crime, they're presumed innocent.
In order to determine whether someone is guilty of a crime, it is our duty, as legislators, to define that crime as clearly as possible.
Mr. Chair, is my time already up?
