Madam Speaker, I want to thank the member for raising this really important issue. She mentioned that this happened three weeks ago, but the Ontario court actually ruled on this two years ago. Two years ago this week, my New Democrat colleague, the member for London—Fanshawe, called on the government to explore changes to the law to ensure that extreme intoxication could not be used as a defence. It has been two years, and we have been calling for the government to explore those changes. I wonder if the member can comment on how unacceptable it is that the government keeps delaying and that victims are paying the price.
