Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thanks to all of you for your very useful testimony.
I want to pick up with something that Sergeant Chrismas said.
You talked about the fact that there is too much emphasis on enforcement and policing and not enough emphasis on prevention.
One thing that struck me as we've been going through this study, and particularly as we travelled last week, is the usefulness of the Criminal Code, which is essentially a dual pole—it is either legal or illegal—versus what we're hearing from survivor-oriented agencies, who are saying that this is a spectrum.
Ms. Mourani talked about the difficulty of enforcement and Ms. Pomerleau talked about the distrust.
I'd like you to comment a little bit about how we, in a society where one of the strongest tools we have—at least federally—is the Criminal Code, make that work in a reality where it is about social conditions, where we need to look at prevention, where coercion versus agency is not something that can be.... There's no clear line where one ends and the other begins.
I wonder if you could give us your thoughts and recommendations about how we move forward in that kind of a context.
I'll start with Sergeant Chrismas.
