I want to be clear that we in the NDP are supporting the bill to go to committee. The main reason for that is that we have a saving grace in it of leaving this decision to the judge and, to a much lesser degree, to juries as to what the ultimate penalties will be.
Je tiens à dire clairement que le NPD appuie le renvoi du projet de loi au comité, et ce, principalement parce qu'il laisse au juge et, dans une moindre mesure, aux jurys le soin d'imposer la peine ultime.
