In Lamontagne, Justice Proulx rejoins the fourth and fifth elements as they are in the section, while adopting the Sillipp description, and organizes the actus reus into three elements, from which I take the following: Actus Reus – the culpable behaviour and consequences The three elements of the actus reus are: • the act prohibited under subsection (1), in this case repeatedly communicating directly or indirectly under subsection (2)(b), • the fact that the victim is harassed and • the effect that this act provokes in the victim.
At paragraphs 15 and 16 of Lamontagne, Justice Proulx states as follows: Ce deuxième élément de l'actus reus, à savoir que la plaignante soit harcelée, ressort plus clairement de la version anglaise du texte qui exige la connaissance que la plaignante "is harassed", alors que la version française réfère à la connaissance que la plaignante "se sente harcelée".
