Just briefly, Mr. Chair, I don't believe this amendment is necessary.
My view is that any judge who is going to impose multiple parole ineligibility periods in the neighbourhood of 50 years is going to provide reasons. I don't think we need to tell them that.
But having said that, the opposition is being consistent in proposing amendments that support the rights of criminals rather than the rights of victims, which of course is what this bill is trying to do.
Having said that, I would encourage all members to vote against this amendment.
