Mr. Speaker, I thank the minister for his answer and his concern in this area.
Following in the same vein, it was recently reported that Easy Street, a children's centre in Calgary, unwittingly hired a janitor who had just been released from a 12-year sentence for sexually abusing a seven-year old girl.
Calgary vocational services which helped the man get the job said it knew of his criminal record but was bound by confidentiality. This example shows that action is needed now. Will the Minister of Justice include a national registry of child abusers in his forthcoming package of judicial reforms?
