Mr. Speaker, I do not think I got through to the member about common sense. That sort of answer would be great in a courtroom. Because we have a Charter of Rights and Freedoms and because we have a Supreme Court appointed by the Prime Minister, people of his choosing and his political belief, we opt for mediocrity. We are just going to put through a weak piece of legislation that is not going to have much of a challenge and really will not do much.
That is exactly what has brought us to the problems we have. That is why there are those victims out there. We opted for mediocrity and said we could not change anything. The status quo prevails. Damn it anyway, we can change things. We have to change things. We need to have a Supreme Court that is chosen by the people, whether it is the Senate or the House of Commons. It has to be one that represents the views and beliefs of the people of Canada. And the views and beliefs of the people of Canada are that sex offenders should be registered, that we should keep track of them, and that if they reoffend we should get them back in jail right away and make the penalties harsher. That is what the Canadian people want and that is where it has to come from.
Let us talk about common sense. Let us not talk about mediocrity and say that we cannot change it and we have to go with the way it is. The status quo is not good enough and the House has to recognize that.
