moved for leave to introduce Bill C-281, an act to amend the Corrections and Conditional Release Act and the Prisons and Reformatories Act.
Mr. Speaker, inmates in federal institutions have sometimes deceived innocent people by contacting them through the mail.
Recently a British woman began a relationship by mail with an inmate in my riding. She moved to Canada thinking that circumstances were normal and that she had a normal contact through the mail. However, she was murdered during a conjugal visit at the prison.
Today I have the honour to table a bill that would require officials to clearly mark all mail sent by inmates with the words: "sent from a correctional facility". I believe that this bill will protect innocent people.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed.)
