Four MPs from as many par- ties advocated approval of a resolution to let mandatory life imprisonment replace the hang- man. Creditiste Alcide Simard from Lac St. Jean riding said he is undecided about how to vote. The Commons galleries were only sparsely filled for the start of the debate, And only about 100 of the 265 members were in their seats. Attendance dwin- died as the afternoon wore on. The abolition resolution,spon- sored by Liberals Robert Staf- bury (York - Scarborough) and James Byrne (Kootenay East), Rags To Riches Conservative Terry Nugent (Ed-| monton - Strathcona) and New Democrat Reid Scott (Toronto Danforth) would require federaw cabinet to approve any release from prison of a person sentenced to mandatory life. DEBATE CONTINUES 'The debate is to continue to day and Monday, with Friday set aside to consider a govern- ment interim supply bill. With quirements to have the cabinet review any paroles. He said many MPs opposed to abolition would favor a cab- inet review before "'lifers" are! paroled. At present the law splits mur- der into two categories--capital murder, defined as planned and deliberate murder, and non-cap- ital murder, which includes all other kinds. Non-capital murder is punished by life imprison- ment. REJECTS BID Mr. Lamoureux rejected Mr. Allard's bid on the grounds that all clauses are complementary to the abolition resolution. He invited MPs to offer amend- ments during the debate. Mr. Nugent, Mr. Byrne, An- drew Brewin (NDP -- Toronto Greenwood) and Howard Johns- ton (SC -- Okanagan - Revel- stoke) spoke in favor of aboli- n the | #0n. Mr. Nugent, who led 'off the debate, said a life sentence is as effective a deterrent as hang- ing and argued that abolition would make Canada a more civilized country.

At the start of the debatt Maurice Allard (Ind - PC-- Sherbrooke) asked Commons Speaker Lucien Lamoureux to divide the resolution so separate the day to divide murder into capital and non-capital offences Mr. Nugent said a life sen- tence is as effective a deterrent because criminals do not think of the possible punishment be- fore plotting and committing Crimes.
