Thank you to the witnesses for being here today. This is an important topic, and we can never have enough insights.
Ms. Donnelly, in 2021, Parliament passed provisions amending paragraph 718.2(a) of the Criminal Code. Subparagraph 718.2(a)(iii.2) was added to make an offence committed against a person providing health services, including personal care services, an aggravating circumstance for sentencing.
In your view, has that provision affected the prevalence of assaults against health workers?
