Thank you for your question, or questions.
I guess the best way for me to answer that is to try to give you the context in which I created this bill.
What scuttled every other attempt to conclude a bill and get it through Parliament was the fact that the number of amendments that were made, the number of changes that were made, were considerable. The position that was taken, at least publicly, when the first bills came forward was that the principal concern of the Canadian people, the public, was that the penalties were not adequate to fit the crimes that were occurring. And the statement was made over and over--and many of you will remember this, or at least some of you will remember this--that the principal reason for amending the bill, 80% of the reason for creating an amended bill, was to increase the penalties. The rest of the thrust was to improve the wording, modernize the wording, and tailor a few things. But the primary focus was to get the penalties up.
