Mr. Speaker, in regard to more prison time, what Reform has said is that we must target. For those offenders who pose a serious threat if they are released, in those cases they should not be released. That is what we say. In other words, our top priority is the protection of Canadians.
On the issue of corporal punishment, Reform has no policy on corporal punishment. Some Reform members have views on corporal punishment. My personal view, which is shared by many in my constituency, is that corporal punishment is something we should look at very seriously. We should debate it in this House and across the country and let Canadians tell us whether they want corporal punishment to be a part of our penal system, pure and simple.
Liberals clearly do not understand the idea of listening to Canadians on issues like that, but they will know after the next election.
