I just want one minute, then I'll turn the rest of my time over to Mr. Murphy.
I simply wish to clarify something for Mr. Manson concerning the question I asked of Minister Nicholson regarding the application of the clause retroactively.
My question was precisely to highlight the hypocrisy on the part of the minister and his government, who have been crying crocodile tears about the victims of violence and saying that their legislation will actually save these victims pain, when the minister knows full well that if his legislation goes through and the section is repealed, those who have already been found guilty of first-degree murder and sentenced to life without possibility of parole before 25 years would still have the opportunity to continue to apply through the faint hope clause, although the legislation would prescribe it a little more.
Therefore, I asked him if he would make clear to victims that they would still have to go through a certain amount of pain.
