Mr. John Hutton at the Public Safety and National Security Committee

I guess the point is that you're bringing up legislation that's already been passed, Bill C-23A. If I were in front of this committee in June--I didn't have that opportunity--I would have said that I didn't think any changes were necessary, that it's bad policy to change law based on the most heinous example. But those changes were made. Those changes were made to deal with Karla Homolka and Graham James, for better or for worse.
