Mr. Speaker, I urge the hon. member to support Bill C-45 which we put before this House to improve the current provisions of the Criminal Code so far as they relate to applications for early parole by those sentenced to prison for longer than 15 years.
In that bill we have proposed a tightening and a toughening of that provision to ensure it is available only in exceptional cases. What is most important of all, apart from the fact altogether that it would make applications of that nature impossible if one is
convicted of multiple or serial killing, it puts the ultimate decision in the hands of the community, the community jury, the very Canadian people for whom this hon. member purports to speak.
