moved for leave to introduce Bill C-252, an act to amend the Criminal Code (judicial review).
Mr. Speaker, this is the third time I am introducing this bill in the House. This bill would repeal section 745 of the Criminal Code, and in the result all those convicted of murder would have to serve a minimum of 25 years in prison before having the opportunity to seek parole.
In the last House this bill passed at second reading and it went to committee. I would hope that in this Parliament, the 36th Parliament, we will have the opportunity to have this bill debated again and ultimately passed by this House because that is the will of the people of Canada.
