Mr. Speaker, I have already pointed out that the legislation adopted by Parliament does not give the Solicitor General the authority to order such a moratorium. It is not a matter of a cop out. It is a matter of stating what the law says.
However, I have said in the House and outside that it is the intention of the government to present legislation which will update and improve the parole and correction system. I look forward to the support of the hon. member and his party in expediting that legislation when it comes before the House.
