I don't think they plea bargain murderers, quite frankly, Mr. LeBlanc.
Again, these things are at the call of the crown attorney, of course. They have a look at what they can prove and what they can't prove and all this. I believe this is one more tool for them. If you keep some of these individuals--now, we're talking about people who are murderers--people who are involved with gangs and criminal behaviour, in jail for 25 years, as I think I indicated in my opening comments, they'll have about 10 to 15 years of fewer victims in this country if they aren't on parole.
So I'm not concerned about that. I think crown attorneys will welcome these provisions and I can't conceive of the fact that they would be interested as groups or even individually of trying to plea bargain down murders into something else, like criminal negligence or manslaughter, something like that. I don't see it. But again, I don't direct crown attorneys; the provincial attorneys general do that, of course, and it will be there call and their discretion on each of these cases.
