The members of the Bloc Québécois feel that you failed to seize the opportunity to eliminate, when you had the chance, early parole after the offender has served one-sixth of the sentence. You informed us in the House that the Minister of Public Safety would introduce these provisions as part of a more comprehensive reform. We want a status report on the reform plans and some idea as to when we can expect to see these proposals.
Minister, we maintain that you should have taken advantage of that bill to do away with early parole for offenders after they have served one-sixth of their sentence. Had you acted more quickly, the amendment would have meant that white-collar criminals like Vincent Lacroix would not be eligible for release after serving one-sixth of their sentence.
