Just real quickly to the member: We see that there would be benefit not only for those on campus but here in the House to having a discussion about terms of incidents and how they are applied, how they are understood through students as well. With the immediate passing of the private member’s bill for Consent Awareness Week from the Toronto Centre member—would there be any benefit to all of us if it was passed immediately?

First, I want to inform the member that the only instrument I can play is a couple of spoons. That’s about it. I take that from my dad. As a young boy, we used to go to camp and Dad would play spoons to a variety of Johnny Cash songs.

My question I do have for the member is—I don’t want to see “you, them, us.” I’m looking at him as an individual who is within the university environment; that’s what I’m looking for. I don’t want to say this is a good idea or you’ve got a good idea. All I’m asking the member is, would there be any benefit to having a consent awareness week passed through this legislation? Would it not bring benefit to all of us to have that opportunity to have a discussion? Let’s forget where the idea comes from. I just want to know from his experience that he’s had within the field and while in school, would there be a benefit to everyone?
