To take your own example, Madam Speaker, you get a $225 speeding ticket for driving 140 kilometres an hour and you pay it. If you pay it, will your fine be cut in half? No. And that is a good thing.</p>\n<p>As my colleague who was president of the Bar in his region, the hon. member for Brome-Missisquoi, knows full well, the substance of the bill is valid. However, the possibility of negotiating fines-not up, of course, but down-raises serious questions regarding the viability of administering Bill C-61.</p>\n<p>For these reasons, I will, in closing, remind you that the Bloc Quebecois will not join the government in supporting Bill C-61.</p>",
