Let me speak for the supporters of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation; I won't presume to speak for Canadians more broadly, sir. As a representative of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, I can tell you that the 50,000 came from more than just supporters of my organization.
I think there were a couple of things involved. Perhaps the first and foremost one would be the general revulsion and repulsion with anything to do with Mr. Clifford Olson. The perception that he might be deriving a benefit or a nicety of any kind frustrates people.
I would probably expand that more widely and express the point that there might be a general sentiment among my organization that we as a society can be extremely generous to those people who are incarcerated, and that sometimes we forget to be mindful of those people who pay for the lifestyle they have, not to mention that we have obligations--nobody's remiss on that. Sometimes there isn't sufficient mindfulness of the balance required for their needs and the needs of those who pay for it, sir.
