Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Bill C-49, consent for sexual activities is considered to have been obtained when the accused shows reasonable steps were taken to ascertain consent. This means that the accused must have made an effort to confirm that the other person is willing to engage in sexual activity before proceeding. It is not sufficient for the complainant to simply not express lack of agreement in words, as this does not constitute clear and voluntary consent. Additionally, when someone is too drunk to be capable of consenting or has engaged in sexual activity with the accused previously, this does not automatically mean that they have given their consent.
