It's up to you to decide whether or not there's a need for this legislation. I'm suggesting that if there was a need for this legislation we would probably see a number of charges in this area. I would respectfully submit to you that we're not going to see it, because I believe the Criminal Code covers the situations that we've been talking about.
When capital punishment was done away with in this country, we decided there were certain offences that were deemed first-degree. As we progressed, the offence that you were referring to was also included. This was because the legislature, after intensive screening and consideration and testimony, decided that there was a gap and it was necessary. If that's what you decide here, then the bill goes forward.
