Our organization is constantly reviewing case law and picking up on various gaps. We put together documents to assist in terms of ideas that may be helpful in Criminal Code reform. Some of the provisions that ended up in this bill are the product of previous advocacy by our organization. The section 161 changes that I mentioned in my opening remarks are an example of that.
We believe that criminal law reform is an ongoing process. This bill does a lot to close a lot of the gaps that we see. We certainly have some other ideas that we would like to put on the table, but we understand the bill the way that it is, and we are very pleased with a lot of the provisions as they pertain to children.
