Mr. Speaker, this House is great at reports and in studies and I think what the Canadian people are asking for is action.
The Liberal red book states that as a government it will introduce measures to protect women and children. Yet in the majority of the above noted cases the victims are females. Over half the cases of manslaughter, over half the convictions for manslaughter have resulted in sentences of less than five years.
Will the minister advise the House when this government will live up to its red book commitment to protect the women of this country?
