Mr. Moore, the way I understand it, the sentencing and the court system fall under the purview of the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, while the parole system, as it is, falls under the purview of the Minister of Public Safety. There are probably some good reasons for making this separation. Personally, I don't think it is working properly for Canadians, particularly the Canadians who have been victims of a hate crime or who have been the victims of, let's say, a mass murderer or serial killer.
The mandate for the public safety minister and the parole system seems to be rehabilitation. It seems to be weighted very heavily toward rehabilitation without giving proper weight to deterrence. Maybe there was a formula at some time that worked, but the formula isn't working now.
I think one easy solution to make sure that people who have committed the most heinous of crimes—terrorizing Canadians—stay in prison lies with the parole system. It should be making sure that they stay in. Whether one is rehabilitated or not, weigh the other variables that were behind the circumstances of the crime. Weigh all the other victims. With hate crimes, the victims aren't just the immediate family and the people who died. They're everyone else who was affected.
