The reality is that the bill as it is presently constituted will accomplish that. The Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Justice was heckling a moment ago saying that it is already in the act.
Of course it is in the act, but as has been pointed out by previous speakers, being able to hold the parents accountable with more deterrence that will be provided by the possibility of a two year sentence is not in the act. That is the reason we must push this through to a vote. I expect that members from all sides of the House, including government members who obviously intend to support Bill C-68 which includes this change, would want to support Bill C-260.
Unless they would want to be called hypocrites, which I am sure no member would want to be called, I am sure they will actually support the legislation when it comes to a vote.
