Thank you, Chair.
I'd like to thank all three of you--Mr. McIsaac, Mrs. Rosenfeldt, and Mr. King--for being here today.
Mrs. King, I would like to echo what our chair just said to you. You have absolutely no apologies to make. I think that, if anything, the emotion that you've brought to this issue probably strikes to the heart of what this bill may have as its objective, so that you and families like yours and Mr. King's will not have to go through the agony.
I believe you were in the room when Professor Doob and Professor Manson spoke. Basically they were opposed to the possibility of consecutive parole ineligibility and did not believe that if it were possible to amend the bill in order to allow the judge the discretion to deem parole ineligibility consecutively for two or more murders, given the circumstances of the crime committed--the offender, the victim, all of that--the judge might have discretion that the second consecutive life sentence and parole ineligibility could be less than the 25 years added to the original 25 years.
Is that something you would be open to?
