Thank you very much.
I apologize for not being here at the beginning of the committee, but I, Mr. Cooper, and Mr. Rankin from the NDP were all in the House today on the motion that's before Parliament with respect to Atlantic Canadian judges on the Supreme Court.
I didn't hear what you had to say but I think you've addressed what I had thought about, so I apologize if you're repeating it again. There is a concept in our justice system that the worse the crime, the higher the penalty. There has been some discussion that if you give a life sentence for torture.... As terrible as torture is, generally in our system of law, to murder somebody is even worse.
Would you consider reducing it from the life sentence?
