Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Justice and I begin by wishing him and his family a happy Easter.
However the chairman of the justice committee is widely quoted as saying that he believes convicted murderers like Clifford Olsen should not have to serve more than 15 years for their crimes. In fact the chairman of the justice committee believes the minimum murderers should serve is 10 years without parole.
Is the chairman of the justice committee articulating government policy, or is this merely a trial balloon on behalf of the justice minister?
