Madam Speaker, the remark I read was indeed a quote from the court transcript, brought to our attention by the director of public prosecutions.
What happened subsequently in that case was indeed other charges and sentencing for other matters. Nevertheless, the remarks that were made are very much reflective of what I hear from judges across this land. As justice critic for the opposition, I frequently hear from judges, mostly at the provincial court level, who are are dealing with these issues in my province, and they are as frustrated as other Canadians with the status quo.
