Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have been advised that under the Criminal Code, it is only necessary to threaten an assault. If that can be proven, you may be convicted. Again, the wording just follows on from what is in the Criminal Code. That is the sort of wording that is there right now. Right now, a person could be convicted of an assault without any physical contact.
