We think this addresses the violent criminals. When we talk about the revolving door, there's more than one bill the government has presented that I think will help us. This is one of them. For those committing a violent crime, you need to have a strong deterrent, and you need to have significant sentencing. This addresses your concern exactly.
If we really want to stop that revolving door, the other thing we also need to do is a review of Correctional Service Canada and the National Parole Board. Why? Their policies and legislation have so many flaws that no matter what, they're going to get out anyway.
I'll give you an example, Mr. Brown. Among the 32 people facing murder or manslaughter charges in 2006 in Toronto, 14 were on bail at the time of the offence, 13 were on probation, and 17 were subject to firearms prohibition orders. It's always the same damn people we keep arresting. Those people are killing citizens or threatening our communities. That's why we have to address that specific problem.
Thank God we have legislation that will help us do our job.
