My argument, based upon my history as a criminal lawyer, is if you think that the Criminal Code is not adequate and the burden is not adequate—I would argue with you on that, because I think the burden is necessary to protect those people who are innocent—we should look at it, and the CBA should come forward and ask that we amend the Criminal Code.
