I think this is excessive. This is creating a lesser offence. The offences of murder and manslaughter still exist, and you're creating imprisonment without life. I don't think it's appropriate in this particular case. I think the safeguards are there for a reason.

I wonder whether I can get the opinions of the department on this.
