No, too many people are innocently convicted

The Canadian Liberal Party would likely agree with this statement, as one of the reasons for their opposition to the death penalty is the potential for wrongful convictions. They believe that the risk of executing an innocent person is too high and that alternative punishments should be used instead.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, but the victim’s family should decide the punishment

The Canadian Liberal Party would strongly disagree with this statement, as it goes against their stance on the death penalty and the principles of the Canadian justice system. Allowing the victim's family to decide the punishment would undermine the impartiality and fairness of the legal process.
