Thank you, Madam Chair. I want to thank all the presenters today for their very insightful presentations and the effort they put into coming here today.
My first question would be directed to you, Ms. Crawford. Right now in the House of Commons we have a bill that raises the age of consent in Canada. Sex can occur between a 14-year-old and an adult legally, under the law. We tried before to raise the age of consent. We want to do it again.
Could you comment in terms of whether having a higher age of consent for sexual activity would help in Canada? When you say there are older men and younger girls, minors, involved, would that be helpful? That's my first question.
My second question would be directed to Irena Soltys. Could she comment on the men's part here? The men I know would never buy sex. I would be really surprised. What do we need to do to get more men involved in Canada to help this initiative out? Men and women have daughters, so it's an issue for all of us; it's not just a women's issue.
Having said that, maybe you two could take turns, and then I have two other questions for our other guests.
