The minimum sentence of seven years is under section 745.1 of the Criminal Code. But the bill you are being asked to support proposes no amendment to that section of the Criminal Code. That is why I am saying that nothing would be changed.
But rest assured that I am as anxious as you to see youth crime go down. You know very well that I have taken drastic measures to combat the crimes of organized crime groups, such as the Hells Angels, and that those operations were successful. Rest assured that we are working towards the same goal and we also want to reduce these problems.
You are aware that the bill does not change the clause indicating that this individual is eligible for parole in seven years?
