The rationale I believe the member used for not removing section 745 entirely was the will of the Canadian people to get tough on crime.</p>\n<p>I would like to draw to the hon. member's attention that section 745 is a judicial review heard with a judge and jury where two thirds of the jury must make the finding for a convicted person to be released.</p>\n<p>I would ask the hon. member is that not dealing with the people through our judge and jury system, trial by our peers? What objection does he have to that?</p>",
