I doubt very much, Mr. Chair, that I'd agree with all those adjectives. I think it's a reality of the Criminal Code that trying to take a broad-brush approach with certain provisions runs into anomalies such as as we've suggested with respect to the criminal enterprise provisions.
I would differ on the issue that it's just that we don't like the look of it. I would say that the public's faith in the justice system goes to the very core of its accountability and the very core of a pillar of our democracy.
We who work in it every day can tell you that the public's faith has generally been shaken in many ways and from many different aspects. It isn't simply a superficial aspect that we don't like the look of it; it goes to the sense of one's feeling that the state has interjected and supported them when they have been the victim of a violent crime.
