Thank you, Chair.
I want to begin by saying that I completely agree with Leah's rationale. I know that hurt people hurt people, so if you don't offer therapy and allow these people to heal, then the violence won't stop.
With that being said, I have more of a technical question and I'd like a bit of an explanation. We are talking about lowering the maximum duration of the peace bond from two years to 12 months, but you've been speaking about how, as it's written for other peace bonds, it's starting at 12 months. For me, that's still.... I don't know if you explained it, but I don't know why we're using the word “maximum” if it's starting at....
Could you just clear that up?
