Mr. Surprenant, you said that pedophilia could not be cured.
I'll ask the chief to comment on this too.
Actually, once they are released, they should be monitored. My understanding is that, under the current Criminal Code, the maximum probation period during which monitoring takes place is three years.
Do you think the Criminal Code should be amended as it relates to sexual offences against children so the probation period is longer?
I don't know whether you got that, Chief. I was just saying, basically, that pedophilia is probably not curable. Under the Criminal Code, the maximum probation period after being freed is three years.
Should the Criminal Code be extended to give a longer probation period in the case of sexual offenders against children?
My question is for Mr. Surprenant, first.
