Thank you.
Mr. McKinnon, congratulations on your appointment. I'm sure you're going to do a great job chairing this committee. We're all very co-operative, as you know. I send my regards to Mr. Carr as well, and I would like to thank him for his service to this committee and wish him well going forward.
I've heard several committee members say that the pain is still fresh and the hurt is still there, and that is used as an argument to delay the study. I would say exactly the opposite. People are so concerned because people are hurting, and the healing has to start. The best way to do that is to get answers to questions, and people have a lot of questions about how this happened and why this man was released. There are some technical reasons why he was released, but I think that we should take the earliest opportunity to hear from the Parole Board and the Correctional Service of Canada to get answers to these questions that Canadians are rightfully asking, and they deserve answers.
