Dans certains pays la réponse est oui et dans d'autres, non. Je me demande si le député peut citer des études crédibles démontrant que si la peine capitale était rétablie dans ce pays, la violence-mise à part celle dont l'État serait responsable-diminuerait tout d'un coup (1315) M. Thompson: Madame la Présidente, je remercie le député pour sa question.
Sometimes it was yes and sometimes it was no. I was wondering whether or not the hon. member had any credible studies which showed that if there were to be capital punishment in this country that all of a sudden violence-quite apart from the violence that the state of course would become involved in-would decrease (1315 ) Mr. Thompson: Madam Speaker, I would like to thank the hon. member for his questions.
