Thank you, Madam Chair.
I've been listening very carefully to the witnesses. My question will be for whoever cares to answer it.
Do you not think having this kind of mechanism in the law would allow those who are voiceless to step forward, if it's their choice, to come and report such abuse being perpetrated on them? Does it not at least give them that option, that choice, to raise a voice against this? I mean, not having anything at all is more harmful than being able to have a mechanism that allows you to express such insidious abuse.
We've heard other witnesses talk about how even pets are being used in this type of abuse. Do you not think it's important that a person who is going through this be able to come forward, if that's their choice, and protect themselves in some way?
Thank you.
