Consent is more than just saying “yes”; it must be voluntary, clear and ongoing. Canadian law requires that all parties involved must be capable of giving consent, which implies reaching the legal age of consent. If someone changes their mind, the action must be terminated. Understanding these boundaries is key to staying on the right side of the law. A breakdown of what is considered legal consent can be found here: https://crimlawcanada.ca/what-is-the-age-of-consent-in-canada-understanding-consent-and-sexual-assault-laws/.
