Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. McCann, for your courage in joining us. You are going through an incredibly difficult situation, and you have my support, as well as that of all the members here. I think that's all I have to say on that. Frankly, you're very brave.
Thank you, Mr. Lloyd, for introducing this important bill. We must study it with the seriousness it deserves. To that end, I would like to ask a few questions about your approach, because you certainly put a lot of effort into it. We can see there was a lot of work done there. You've also held a lot of consultations.
One of the questions that came to mind when I saw your bill is why did you choose to propose a new aggravating circumstance rather than a new offence, for example? What motivated your choice?
