Senators Nolin and Andreychuk, along with other members of the Standing Senate Committee on Legal and Constitutional Affairs at that time, including me, will recall that there were concerns that the previous Bill C-2 went too far, especially in imposing mandatory minimum punishments.
Les sénateurs Nolin et Andreychuk, ainsi que d'autres membres du Comité sénatorial permanent des affaires juridiques et constitutionnelles d'alors, moi compris, se souviendront que nous craignions d'aller trop loin, surtout en imposant des peines minimales obligatoires.
