Madam Speaker, I thank the hon. member for Calgary Northeast for his questions and comment. First let me speak to something that has been addressed because I know he would not want to carry on with a misconception.
The question of whether Junior Marshall contributed to his own misfortune was addressed by the inquiry. The appeal court judges who sat on the case were reprimanded by the judicial counsel for saying exactly what the hon. member said, with the greatest respect. I know the member did not mean to perpetrate it. He did not contribute to his own misfortune. He did not lie, absolutely not. He was in the park that night and was hurt by the same man who killed Sandy Feal. He did not lie and the judges who said that were reprimanded by the judicial counsel, in the words of Casey Stengel. The hon. member could look it up.
At any rate with regard to deterrence, not at any time did I suggest to the hon. member or to the House that there should not be deterrence and punishment. I did not say there should not be.
