Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my colleague for the bill. Honestly, it could not have come at a better time, when sexual assault is up 76% in Canada. I am the chair of the status of women committee, and we heard disturbing testimony that half the people who are sexually assaulted do not even get a police report. Of the ones who do get a police report, 5% go to court, and only 1% actually get a conviction. The sentence is measured in an average of months, not years.
Are there measures the member would like to see the courts implement in terms of the maximum sentence, along with consecutive sentencing?
