Mr. Speaker, I do not have the rules in front of me, nor do I have the Beauchesne's book in front of me, but one of the things that Mrs. Marie-Jewell has said is with regard to the reaction of her constituency and to certain individuals being treated in a certain way. I think it is a matter of whether or not she is aboriginal or non-native, or whether or not the aboriginal people have been treated much more differently than a non-native aboriginal. In this case, I question whether or not the justice system has suggested a deterrence and we, as a government, are not doing anything to deter that. It is very wrong for us to try and serve the public and give them answers, and at the same time, we are not doing anything about certain individuals, in the opinion of the public, who are given special treatment.
