—to require judges to take into consideration, when sentencing, a person who is convicted of assaulting a health care worker.
I notice that in your draft bill, you do not actually have a definition for “health care professional” or “first responder”. I wonder if there was a reason for that, if you wanted to keep it more general, or if you think the bill would be improved by having a clear definition.
I would say that your legislation mirrors legislation that already exists relating to offences against public transit workers, and there is a definition for “public transit workers”.
Why is there not a definition?
