On November 3, during a parliamentary debate, the Hon. Jay Hill, moving for leave to introduce Bill C-303, to reinstate the death penalty for adults convicted of first-degree murder said he believed that Canada should hold a binding referendum on capital punishment so that Canadian people, and not political parties, can decide whether or not it should be reinstated. A Reform government has pledged to do this. However the Liberals do not believe in allowing Canadians to exercise that much power. "Not all murderers deserve the death penalty, but in most heinous cases the punishment must fit the crime," Hill said.
