That is an astute point that I didn't raise. Thank you for raising it. I think your question and comment reveal another aspect of this, and that is the definition and the elements of aggravated assault are already very broad, and they're broader than those proposed under this new legislation.
The mental harm that can result from aggravated assault can be a component of the assault itself. That's made clear when we look at sexual assault causing bodily harm and aggravated sexual assault. Those can encompass psychological harms that don't need to result in permanent, cognitive, and visible impairment.
In some ways, the aggravated assault provisions might encompass...and the aggravated assault provisions don't need to have a repeated conduct. There could be one instance. The aggravated assault provisions are arguably broader, and they would capture more conduct than what is proposed to be captured under the new torture provision.
