Fenneil's bill, an aniendinent to the Crimincal Code of Canada, wiil cail for execution by the injec- tion of a fatal drug and will provide strict guidelines for the passage of the deatb penalty by the courts. "Circunistantial evi- dence cannot be con- sidered," Fenneli said in an interview with the Free Press last Friday. t'The death penalty can be used oniy when there are establisbed facts and witnesses." Under the Progressive Conser- vative backbencher's proposai, the death penalty wiil be applied against ail those convic- ted of pre-meditated (or first degree) murder as defined in the criminal code. Tbe penalty wili also be extended to those convicted of treason. The bill will not apply sirnply to the murder of police officers or prison guards. The drug Fenneli is advocating is a means of execution "simply puts a person to sleep" and is the most humane method of execution, he said.

"We won't get any support fromn the back- benches of the N.D.P., we'll have to go it alone," Fennell said. "But I am confident that it will be up to the caucus to decide.
