A Thursday Commons session reopened the death penalty debate with Conservative Joe Clark proposing to resume discussion on hanging while insisting the motion is not a confidence measure. Liberals, led by Prime Minister Trudeau, oppose reintroduction, arguing they would rather abandon capital punishment and avoid ratifying a death sentence. The episode echoes past leaders Diefenbaker and Pearson who fought or avoided capital punishment, with Kaplan defending the government stance and Clark forecasting the political risk of such a vote.
