Mr. Speaker, I had a great time in Scarborough. The hospitality was wonderful.
I would like to know about the consecutive sentencing in Bill C-45. I believe, and memory is getting about as old as the rest of my body, if people commit another crime when on parole that sentence is added to what they did not serve on the other crime. Then they get two-thirds knocked off and are eligible for parole again after one-third of the time, if I am not mistaken. That is wrong.
Consecutive sentencing is something the government avoids talking about. I know it does not happen in the court. It is deplorable to see people like Bernardo commit nine serious crimes and only serve the amount of time one of the crimes would call for.
