Surely, members of Parliament also have a perspective and can put forward meaningful reforms that would strengthen Canadian law. That is the intent and spirit of what I am trying to do.
I have a final question. You mentioned punishment. In your op-ed, where you took a look at my bill for iPolitics, I believe, you talked about punishment and the fact that the life imprisonment I had suggested did not fit and was not appropriate. If you look at the code, subsection 47(1) I believe, treason is punishable with life imprisonment as the applicable punishment. The same is true for aggravated sexual assault. We have offences in the Criminal Code where life imprisonment is what's called for.
If you look at the cases, the sorts of examples I gave in my testimony, those are heinous acts, certainly on par, I think, with treason and aggravated sexual assault. Life imprisonment is the charge there. What is wrong with suggesting it in the sorts of examples that I have put forward?
