Reinstating the death penalty for sexual offences towards minors, while it may give some members of the public a sense of justice, would be a symbolic justice only. True justice would be investing in resources focused on the care of the victims and their families. There is no wisdom in spending so much of our taxpayer dollars on the infrastructure required to support capital punishment, when those same funds would be much better spent supporting the victims of these grotesque crimes. I urge the members of the committee to strongly oppose this bill. It is neither morally or fiscally responsible.
