Thank you, Madam Chair.
First of all, I'd like to welcome the two witnesses.
Thank you for being with us. Your comments and observations are most valuable.
Ms. Gill, you've proposed an amendment to include children among potential victims. I've thought about this, and wonder how it might apply.
Let's take the example of a child who is told to go and think in his room by one of his parents because his behaviour is not acceptable. He'll think that, if he doesn't go, he'll be taken there by force and that he'll be a victim of violence.
You're going to tell me that that is a caricature and that I'm going quite far, but I'm looking for the limits.
If we include children among the potential victims, how are we going to avoid convictions that would make no sense? We want parents, teachers and everyone else to be able to continue exercising some control over children and their behaviour. What limits are we going to set if we include children among the potential victims?
