Since we're going to have a lot of these, I would like to say that I support the Conservative amendment CPC-1 and others as well, because we have come to the conclusion that we will oppose hybridization in general. That would leave it, I know, as straight indictable in this context—sabotage—but generally speaking we are persuaded by Christian Leuprecht, who told us that the effect of these changes would be to download this to the provincial courts and the already overwhelmingly crowded provincial corrections systems.
You've heard me say it before. The better solution is the one that was in the minister's mandate letter, which is completely lacking in this bill, namely, to get rid of mandatory minimums and give courts the discretion they used to enjoy. I think that would solve the problem much more effectively than what they are doing here.
I can speak to other specifics, but just to give you notice, Chair, that's the position I'll be taking on these matters.
