Senator Batters: Senator Simons, what you referred to would probably be indecent exposure. For many of these offences, if it’s not appropriate to charge with the more serious offence, as some of these are listed here, the police, the prosecutors and the courts would deal with them on the appropriate sort of charging basis.

In regard to the other offence that you referred to earlier — being unlawfully in a dwelling-house — maybe you would recall that sort of offence can often be used when an ex-spouse is stalking and potentially going to harm their spouse. There have been very significant cases that deal with that.

I think Senator Boisvenu has actually tried to make sure that the type of charges that he’s dealt with here are the ones that are the most serious — potentially dealing with domestic violence. Wouldn’t you agree that is the sort of thing that we should be worried about, especially when dealing with conditional sentencing, where we could have those offenders back in the community to hurt those people?
