House of Commons Hansard—Feb. 3, 1998   Mr. Myron Thompson (Wild Rose, Ref.): Mr. Speaker, last week in Alberta a man was sentenced to 60 days for killing his dog. At the same time two men inMontreal who were convicted of raping a teenage girl were sentenced to 18 months to be served at home. They are walking free all because of a loophole called conditional sentencing which the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada supports.  How does the justice minister explain to the rape victim that her life has less worth than that of a dog?  From Tim Bloedow
