Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question.
A lot of numbers have been thrown around. I agree that people who owe payments must make them, but incentives are needed. Personally, I think Bill C-78 is a pretty good bill. However, it does have two points that contradict one another, and I wonder whether my colleague is aware of this.
Bill C-78 is really about children. It puts them first. However, Bill C-75 flies in the face of Bill C-78.
That bill proposes reducing sentences in cases of very serious crimes, such as kidnapping a child under the age of 16 and concealing the body of a child.
When proposing a bill pertaining to divorce, it is important to remember that, in some cases, parents commit serious acts of violence. That is a fact, and it happens everywhere. There was Dr. Turcotte's case in Quebec, for example.
How can we have both Bill C-78, which puts children first, and Bill C-75, which reduces sentences for people who use violence against those same children?
