Mr. Speaker, I tried to answer the questions, the same question as last week. It is recorded in Hansard. When a person commits an offence, particularly a serious offence, it is the federal government which organizes itself and lays the charges. It goes before a court. That is the due process. There is argument for and against. They are presumed innocent until the court finds otherwise. Once that is done a sentence is passed.
