Mr. Speaker, I certainly share some of the views that were raised by the hon. member from the Reform Party. We certainly know his ongoing concern for conditional sentencing. I have two questions for the member.
Should the member not be looking at the fact that the Minister of Justice has asked the justice committee to study this issue? Should he not be helping the members of his party who sit on the justice committee to ensure that the justice committee does not have 100 private members' motions before it so that the committee does not have to deal with the private members' motions before it deals with conditional sentencing?
I encourage the hon. member to help the committee expedite the work in terms of arriving at conditional sentencing and making some recommendations to the minister in terms of conditional sentencing and to bring amendments forward.
The second question I have for the hon. member has to do with family violence. It was rather interesting that the member talked about statistics. Does the member know how many of those women were killed by guns used by their spouses? His party did not support the gun control legislation. When the member does bring those statistics forward, he should be talking about the type of violence that women face in society. The member should be supporting the government on initiatives such as gun control.
