Mr. Speaker, first of all, I would like to thank my colleague for this important question.
I cannot comment, however, as there may be an appeal. I must say that the federal legislation is clear: no means no.
We have to challenge the myths and stereotypes, including the view that a victim, usually a woman, has to forcibly resist to indicate denial of consent.
Let me assure all members of the House that this government will stand behind the legislation, including the new rape shield legislation, so that victims will not be victimized again by the justice system.
