Mr. Speaker, the real penalty for multiple killers should be consecutive sentences. Clifford Olson should be serving 11 consecutive life sentences, not looking for early parole.
This serial killer, Clifford Olson, and those who are in jail today will still have the right to apply to a superior court judge for a hearing under Bill C-45, and a jury hearing may be granted.
Why has the justice minister not simply scrapped section 745 instead of introducing a bill that still allows Clifford Olson and hundreds of other first degree murderers to apply for early release?
