Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the member for her question.
First, I would point out that there is already a provision that allows the courts to order that parole not be considered until 50% of the sentence is served. Originally it was thought that would deal with this issue. It has not.
As a result, I have sought the support, and received it, of the justice committee, which will be introducing legislation.
While we are conducting the Corrections and Conditional Release Act review I would invite all members of parliament to participate in that exercise to make sure that Canada continues to lead the world in corrections.
