Mr. Speaker, I listened carefully to the speech by my colleague from Quebec Centre. He invoked the principle that “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” by reminding us of everything that needs to implemented before crimes are committed. We agree on that point.
Would my colleague agree with the Bloc Québécois that something needs to be done about the amount of time before an accused person is brought to trial? Would he be in favour of making sure the Jordan decision does not apply to certain serious cases, such as sexual offences, murder, kidnapping, offences involving firearms or acts of terrorism?
