I can again only say that the decision speaks for itself, so it would be improper for me to really voice my opinion on it. It does say exactly what it says. I can advise you that I'm aware of the issues with respect to the punitive versus compensatory issues of the legislation. And again, I think I can't say anything further. No judicial review is taken, it says what it does, and I think all parliamentarians can do.... I think the ball is right in your court. You need to address this issue as a House, as the democratic voice of Canadians, in terms of what you would like to see done with section 13, and we can only apply the law as you've written it.
