Mr. Speaker, indeed, we should base our decisions much more on data and science than on media hype, which can sometimes be politically slanted, but can also lead to decisions that do not achieve the desired outcome.
Unfortunately, when it comes to releasing accused persons, if we had more data, we could make better decisions. I still think that it is worth sending the bill to committee because it contains some interesting provisions.
Often, when there is complete disagreement on the principle of a bill, it is rejected at the second reading stage. However, since there are elements in this bill that may be of interest, it is worth sending it to committee, but the work done there will have to be based on statistics and science.
