Thank you for those comments. That plays into what I want to ask you next, sir.
The self-defence jurisprudence is quite clear. I think in R. v. Bengy the court found that the court must be alive to the fact that the people in stressful and dangerous situations do not have time for subtle reflection. You also mentioned the SCC decision in R. v. Pétel. To me, these decisions sometimes skew heavily in favour of a protection of self-defence rights.
Do you feel that the state of the law in the courts is effectively communicated to law enforcement to aid in their charging decisions? You indicated it wasn't, so how do we address the issue? How do we best deal with it?
