Thank you, Mr. Minister.
When I first heard about this regime that you want to amend, I, too, was well aware that such a sentence is imposed when the most serious crime has been committed, that is, when someone intentionally kills another person. When the decision was made to eliminate the death penalty for this crime, it was necessary to set out very serious consequences.
I can appreciate some of your arguments regarding the suffering of victims, or rather the suffering of victims' families, since we are talking about homicide victims. I think it is excessive to require them to come and testify every two years.
We can agree with you on one aspect of this bill and call into question certain others. With all due respect, we can have different opinions stemming from our own experiences.
I listened to your presentation about crime. Do you really believe that the faint hope regime should never have been created?
