Mr. Speaker, I rise before this House on day six of this initiative to present petition No. 6 on behalf of constituents who wish to halt the early release from prison of Robert Paul Thompson. His date for parole hearing is set for April 11, 1995.
The petitioners I represent are concerned about making our streets safer for our citizens. They are opposed to the current practice of early release of violent offenders prior to serving the full extent of their sentences.
The petitioners pray that our streets will be made safer for law-abiding citizens and the families of the victims of convicted murders.
