Mr. Michel Surprenant at the Justice and Human Rights Committee

I heard what you said, and I want to clarify something. Sexual predators do not use firearms, they use ruses. Sexual predators will not commit violent offences during the kidnapping as such. You must also understand that these are life sentences that sexual predators are imposing when they kidnap or assault a child. When you kidnap a child, you are destroying the child's life. How will the child react? How will the child recover from that experience? That is the whole issue. Regardless, it certainly is a life sentence.

Thank you.
