That bill has been sent to committee, but it's not captured. It's not defined as a serious personal injury offence as defined in section 752, so if our bill were to be amended as suggested, that would not be captured.
There are other serious offences that would not be captured by the bill if we chose to amend it in this way. We said very clearly that we do not want the conditional sentence to be available for serious offences. We've heard from victims groups; we've heard from those groups that Internet luring, break and enter with intent to commit an indictable offence, or being unlawfully in a dwelling house are also serious offences. They would not be captured by the bill if we adopted Mrs. Barnes's amendment. That is why I cannot support it.
We put forward a bill that recognizes that the use of conditional sentences has increased. We know that. We saw evidence of that. This is a way of ensuring that people who commit serious crimes, as set out in the bill, do not receive house arrest.
Those are my comments on the amendment.
