Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Taylor and Mrs. Moore, I have two minutes left and I would like to come back to firearms.
I understand that there are specific provisions for certain crimes committed with firearms. What is more, as I was saying earlier, not so long ago we legislated to repeal minimum sentences for certain gun related crimes. I am thinking specifically about discharging a firearm with a specific intent; we repealed the four-year minimum sentence for that offence.
We have to assess the seriousness of the crime. A defence lawyer might say to the judge that in today's society, the crime in question is clearly much more serious than it was 10, 20 or 50 years ago. He might use that type of argument since the legislator repealed the minimum sentences.
In your opinion, is it not worrisome that this type of argument could be used?
