Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to present this Melanie Carpenter petition organized by Nick Carter and other staff members from JC-55 SuperCountry Radio station in Kamloops and circulated throughout the Kamloops area, the north and south Thompson valleys and the community of Logan Lake as well as a number of other communities throughout central British Columbia.
This brings to 22,000 the number of names of individuals calling for changes to Canada's justice system and parole system in an effort to make our streets and neighbourhoods safe places in which to live and to raise our families.
Specifically, the petitioners believe that those convicted of dangerous and sexual offences should remain incarcerated until they have successfully undergone treatment and can demonstrate unequivocally that they have been completely rehabilitated.
