Mr. Speaker, I rise before the House once again to present petition number 15 in the course of action undertaken 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. My colleague from Surrey-White Rock-South Langley shall be in attendance with me at this hearing.
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 shall be made safer for law-abiding citizens and the families of the victims of convicted murderers.
