Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Scarborough-Rouge River. It is good to have people with us who have institutional memories which some of the rest of us are just acquiring. He is correct.
I mentioned in my intervention that the primacy of the protection of the public is in the Corrections and Conditional Release Act. My whole contention was that is good and is another argument for its inclusion in the bill before us.
I would welcome adding that amendment to the bill. It would make our party a great deal more comfortable with the bill. If he and other members of the justice committee would recommend and bring forward that amendment to the House and support it, I would certainly applaud that and I would applaud him for making that move.
I thank him for his intervention and look forward to perhaps having that carried through.
