Mr. Speaker, I have four petitions to present today.
On behalf of the hon. member for Calgary Southeast I rise before the House on day seven to present petition number seven. These petitions are being presented on behalf of constituents who wish to halt the early release from prison of Robert Paul Thompson. April 11 is the date set for the parole hearing.
The petitioners are concerned about making our streets safer for 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 the streets will be made safer for law-abiding citizens and the families of the victims of convicted murderers.
