With respect, that's your opinion based on studies you've looked at. You're talking about studies, to a certain extent, done in a vacuum. In this bill we're talking about the proposal of a new minimum that hasn't been tested. We would be making new law here.
It's also my understanding that in the United States each state has the ability to pass these kinds of laws. You don't have the same kind of national consistency we aim for in Canada by having a national Criminal Code. Isn't that correct?
