The provinces are aware of the changes we have made to the criminal justice system, and many of them were actually encouraged by the provinces. I know that you and your party have great difficulty getting rid of the double credit for time served and the implications that has for the provinces. Provincial attorneys general from all political parties are actually encouraging us to move forward on these issues, so it is not like we are taking them unaware or that these issues are coming as a surprise to them.
On December 2nd, 2009. See this statement in context.
