Okay, thank you.
Don't take this the wrong way. Please don't take offence to this, but while I certainly understand defence counsels' concern and responsibility for respecting and representing the valid interests of the criminals, I continue to believe that we, as parliamentarians, have an absolute responsibility to the general public, to the citizens of this country, to provide protection. I would almost consider that may be one of our primary responsibilities.
Do you not believe that we, as legislators, have a duty and a responsibility to balance this?
