I have read the bill. It is definitely an improvement. We must therefore acknowledge this work.
However, I do not think the bill goes far enough, because the number of repeat offences is not codified. I believe that, after a certain number of repeat offences, for example in the case of crimes against women, children or the elderly, or after a certain number of times the person did not comply with the conditions imposed by the court, that person should no longer be released.
If we want to release a person who has committed 12 break and enters, I have fewer problems with that. The police are of the same opinion, because these criminals will eventually be arrested. However, I do not know if Bill C‑14 will put a stop to the practice of constantly releasing offenders who have harmed vulnerable people, such as women, on 10, 12, 15 or 16 occasions.
