Mr. Speaker, yesterday in Vancouver a judge ordered no jail time for two young men who ran down and killed an innocent woman while street racing.
The B.C. Supreme Court Justice who handed down the conditional sentences cited the federal government's concern about over incarceration as an excuse for misusing conditional sentencing. The judge did not understand that conditional sentencing was only intended for misdemeanours, not for violent crime.
Why does the government continue to allow criminals convicted of killing innocent people to use a loophole to get away with murder?
