Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Does the court honestly believe that this sentence would deter the next discouraged government employee who is tempted to take advantage of a position of public trust? Mr. Speaker, this is just another example of the fact that the courts are not reflecting the opinions and the values of the people they have been established to serve. I agree totally that the judicial system must be able to operate at arm's length from the Legislative Assembly but at the same time there has to be a better mechanism through which public values can be reflected accurately in court judgements, otherwise justice will not only be blind, she will become out of touch with reality. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
