Mr. Speaker, my first choice would have been for a Liberal member to get up and ask a question and get into the debate. Let us talk about what can be done to solve these problems.
I appreciated the examples my hon. colleague used. I guess we all have stories and anecdotes which underline the need to improve our justice system and our dealings with people who so blatantly walk over the rights of other people.
The most serious one that has happened in the Edmonton area in the last little while involved three young people whose names could not be released. They invaded a house one night looking for money. The lady of the house went down to see about the noise thinking it was her dog. It was the three young people who stabbed her to death. A young mother's life was taken. Under the protection of the law, their names cannot be released. How can we justify having this lack of accountability for people and their actions?
Beyond publicizing their names thereby holding them accountable for what they have done, has the member given any thought to what kind of sentences and how long those sentences should be for things such as home invasions especially if weapons are used? Has the member given any thought as to how we treat these youths in terms of giving justice to the people whose rights are seriously violated?
