Madam Speaker, I congratulate the member on her fine speech. She brings up a number of very good points, but I think she is only looking at half of the equation.
What irritates my constituents and myself very much is that nobody apparently wants to speak out for the rights of society as a whole. We continually talk about the rights of the accused, the rights of the convicted, and we make beautiful speeches about the rights of the victim. But unfortunately and tragically, in the recent history of this country, the rights of the victim have been subjugated to the rights of the criminal.
