Mr. Speaker, obviously the hon. member describes a tragic case and no member in this House is pleased when they see that happen in the courts.
Conditional sentencing as the minister has said is a new provision. The minister has stated that she and all her provincial counterparts are monitoring closely what is happening in the lower courts.
I refer the hon. member to the attorney general of Alberta who has publicly discouraged the federal government from unilaterally establishing further guidelines for this provision.
As the minister has said in the House, if she has to she will amend the law.
