Madam Speaker, I am never really sure at times where some of the folks from the Bloc are coming from, and whether the hon. member supports or does not support the bill.
The member made a very interesting statement a moment ago. He said, with regard to first degree murderers, that 15 years is a long time, people are suffering. I really find that incredible statement, considering that first degree murderers have pre-planned the execution they have undertaken. They have usually, if not always, little or no regard for the victims.
I wonder how my colleague across the way can rationalize the plight of the victim with that of a first degree murderer for whom he says 15 years is a long time, people are suffering. If he believes for a minute that the families of the victims of these first degree murderers are not suffering for their whole lives then he is truly mistaken.
I would like to ask the member how he rationalizes a statement like that in view of the fact that all of the victims in our society suffer even more?
