Absolutely, and I think you've heard the best kind of evidence on that point from people like Robin Parker and Megan Stephens. I urge you to listen to that, based on their decades of experience representing survivors and also their experiences with Crown and criminal defence lawyers as well.
I think one of the good things about Bill S-12 as it's currently drafted is that it makes it much clearer. A line Crown prosecutor can go to the legislation and see it's not appropriate for them to pursue charges because the three criteria there are not met. It doesn't have to be something that is a matter of discretion as they are figuring it out, in some cases really quite poorly, as evidenced by the examples we have heard about. It's setting it out much more clearly and being very narrow about the circumstances in which it would ever be appropriate to pursue that.
I think that is another good thing about this legislation—that clarifying element of it.
