Attorney General, our committee heard from Mr. and Mrs. Best, the parents of Kellie Verwey, 28 years old, who was killed in a car crash last January by a drunk driver. At the time of this tragic incident, there was a warrant for his arrest for breaching bail conditions. In fact, that was not the first but the second time that he was wanted for breach of bail. He had already breached before. The mom, Meechelle Best, said to us that Kellie's death was completely avoidable.
Let's talk about that as a philosophical issue. What would you say to Kellie's parents about why Bill C-14 does not go far enough to punish those who breach bail conditions?
