Parliament Hill Report on Bill C-83 and Bill C-84
Craig Stewart M P reports from Parliament Hill that the government introduces two acts Bill C-83 gun control and Bill C-84 on capital punishment. He supports capital punishment for deliberate murder but not necessarily hanging. He notes six main points in Bill C-83 including organized crime commissions and tighter parole rules while criticizing gun controls as poor legislation harming law abiding citizens especially in rural areas. He urges splitting the bills so gun control can be amended after Second Reading and witness hearings.
