Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Solicitor General of Canada. Oresto Panacui and Jean-Guy Dipietro were convicted and sentenced to jail for armed
robbery, kidnapping and attempted murder. They were released and the minister is well aware that Panacui has already reoffended.
The parole board released Panacui even though they acknowledged: "You are serving a very long sentence for a very violent crime and drug addiction was a factor in your criminal lifestyle".
Why is the minister allowing the parole board to release violent criminals and jeopardize the safety of Canadians?
