Mr. Speaker, my question is for the solicitor general.
On New Year's Day 1981, serial killer Clifford Olson picked up a 16-year old female hitchhiker, pulled out a gun and then proceeded to repeatedly rape her over a 12-hour period. This incident took place two weeks after the first of 11 murders Olson committed.
The victim reported the incident to the Squamish RCMP detachment and Olson was arrested. When it was learned that the victim was a prostitute there were no further proceedings. As the RCMP were the police force involved in this incident, is the minister prepared to tell Canadians why this case did not proceed?
