" Jailed killers should have suicide option rather than run up millions of dollars in prison costs." are some of the words Pierre-Hugues Boisvenu told the country which short after, was forced to apologize for very violent words. This had many impacts to the citizens around him. Families and relatives were shocked and upset about this saying because of their own losses of their loved ones due to suicidal. Some people thought this was a reasonable answer due to the over expenses the Canadian Government has to pay for their cell. For example, two criminals Mohammad Shafia, Tooba Yahya will be improisoned with a cost of 10million dollars. He also backed up his statement by saying that the big money should be going towards to people who have responsibilities. However, with his back up ideas and minds, the Liberal Interim Leader Bob Rae said it was “completely unacceptable,”.
On some parts, I agree with Mr. Boisvenu saying on the criminals. However, I think he should of worded it a bit differently instead of directly saying it towards the criminals. Even though the words might of been harsh, it is true that the fact it will cost around 10million dollars is unbelivable. It can be spent somewhere else, to help a community or give a hand to the poor. Despite agreeing with Mr. Boisvenu, the words from Mr. Boisvenu seemed very harsh. I think this gives a very poor reputation of him and will affect him in the future. I found this a big dicussion because he is one of the people who have a saying in Canada, but when a respected man speaks like that, it can sometimes change the view on a him.
But at the end, I agree with Mr. Rae by saying it was completely unacceptable. Even though those people have comitted an unforgettable they are still human and the words were too harsh.
