Mr. Speaker, I have the privilege to present two petitions signed by people in my constituency who were outraged over the murder of Melanie Carpenter and who continue to press for changes to the criminal justice system to address what they feel are inadequacies in the system.
The petitioners call on Parliament to permit the use of post-sentence detention orders and to limit the freedoms of high risk offenders. If Parliament hears this petition, innocent people like Melanie Carpenter will remain alive, and dangerous ones like her murderer, if he were still alive, would stay behind bars.
