Madam Speaker, I thank the member for her advocacy on this issue as well.
We know that women and members of LGBTQ2 community have not come forward because of fears that they will not be taken seriously, and that when it does go to court they are concerned that consent may not have been given.
This legislation can give them confidence that no means no, and that, regardless of the situation they find themselves in, whether it be through alcohol or some other situation, and their concern is that it would be interpreted differently, they can have confidence in the justice system.
This is only one piece of what is required, but it is an important step in making sure that survivors of sexual violence can come forward with confidence.
