I would just add to what Mr. Albas had to say, my colleague. There have been mandatory minimums in the Criminal Code for over 100 years. My colleague from the Liberal Party seems to take great umbrage at mandatory minimums, but I would note that not once during their time in government did they remove mandatory minimum penalties. In fact, in certain circumstances some of the Criminal Code amendments they brought forward had mandatory minimum sentences.
I just thought that would be important to have on the record.
