My mother was a teacher, and my daughter teaches now on Six Nations. I'm very happy to hear your comments today.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8347235\" data-originallang=\"en\">One of the discussions we've had in the testimony we have heard so far is that we have clarified that it's already illegal to abuse a child or do violence to a child. Certainly, the Supreme Court decision, as Mr. Joly mentioned, with their interpretation, added:</p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"8347236\" data-originallang=\"en\"> the use of force must be sober and reasoned, address actual behaviour and be intended to restrain, control or express symbolic disapproval. They also noted that the child must have the capacity to understand and benefit from the correction, which means that section 43 does not justify force against children under the age of two or those with certain disabilities.... According to the decision, reasonableness further implies that force may not be administered to teenagers, as this can induce aggressive or antisocial behaviour. Moreover, force may not involve objects, such as rulers or belts, and it may not be applied to the head. </p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"8347237\" data-originallang=\"en\">I think we've heard from you today that there are not that many complaints being brought forward, because people understand the protections under section 43.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8347238\" data-originallang=\"en\">My question, then, is this: Do you think section 43, as written, does provide you needed protection today?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8347239\" data-originallang=\"en\">We'll start with Mr. Joly.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8347232\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci, madame la pr\u00e9sidente. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8347233\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je remercie les t\u00e9moins de leur pr\u00e9sence.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8347234\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je viens d'une famille d'enseignants. Ma m\u00e8re \u00e9tait enseignante, et ma fille enseigne maintenant sur le territoire des Six Nations. Je suis tr\u00e8s heureuse d'entendre vos observations aujourd'hui.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8347235\" data-originallang=\"en\">L'une des discussions que nous avons eues dans le cadre des t\u00e9moignages que nous avons entendus jusqu'ici, c'est que nous avons d\u00e9j\u00e0 \u00e9tabli clairement qu'il est ill\u00e9gal de maltraiter un enfant ou de lui faire violence. Certes, comme l'a mentionn\u00e9 M. Joly, la Cour supr\u00eame a ajout\u00e9 ce qui suit dans sa d\u00e9cision et son interpr\u00e9tation:</p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"8347236\" data-originallang=\"en\"> [...] il faut que l\u2019emploi de la force soit r\u00e9fl\u00e9chi et mod\u00e9r\u00e9, qu\u2019il r\u00e9ponde au comportement r\u00e9el de l\u2019enfant et qu\u2019il vise \u00e0 contr\u00f4ler le comportement, \u00e0 ma\u00eetriser l\u2019enfant ou encore \u00e0 exprimer une d\u00e9sapprobation symbolique. Ils ont ajout\u00e9 que l\u2019enfant doit \u00eatre en mesure de comprendre la correction et d\u2019en tirer profit, ce qui veut dire que l\u2019article 43 ne justifie pas l\u2019emploi de la force \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9gard d\u2019enfants de moins de deux ans ou d\u2019enfants ayant certaines d\u00e9ficiences [...] Selon la d\u00e9cision, l\u2019expression laisse entendre \u00e9galement que la force ne doit pas \u00eatre utilis\u00e9e contre des adolescents, car cela risquerait de d\u00e9clencher un comportement agressif ou antisocial. Elle ne doit pas non plus \u00eatre appliqu\u00e9e au moyen d\u2019objets comme une r\u00e8gle ou une ceinture et ne doit pas toucher la t\u00eate. </p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"8347237\" data-originallang=\"en\">Si je ne me trompe pas, vous nous avez dit aujourd'hui qu'il n'y a pas beaucoup de plaintes qui sont d\u00e9pos\u00e9es, parce que les gens comprennent les protections pr\u00e9vues \u00e0 l'article 43.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8347238\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ma question est donc la suivante: pensez-vous que l'article 43, dans sa forme actuelle, vous offre la protection dont vous avez besoin aujourd'hui?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8347239\" data-originallang=\"en\">Commen\u00e7ons par M. Joly.</p>"
