Mr. Speaker, there is something wrong with this kind of thinking. In one particular parole board hearing I was at an individual was before it for a revocation of his parole. He was a fraud artist. What was he doing? He was up setting up his next scam while on parole. What happened? His parole was revoked. Is he entitled to get back out? Yes, indeed. He can apply again for parole.
Something has to be wrong somewhere if the government cannot acknowledge the fact that there has not been rehabilitation, that this individual will reoffend and that it is not healthy for the victims to allow him out. That does not seem like such a difficult problem to resolve.
We said that we would ensure that criminals served their full sentences if conditional release is revoked or suspended. The government said no, it cannot agree with that.
Let us talk about a child sex offender registry. We suggested that a complete registry be established. The government says: "No. Do not do that. CPIC will look after it". CPIC is the system run by the police.
Why can the Liberals not acknowledge the fact that everybody is concerned about sex offenders and everybody wants and should have the right to know? They should have that right.
If I am living in any community in this country, before my children go out on the street I want to know if there is a sex offender living next door. It is not appropriate simply to leave it to the police. The police are not going to sit outside this guy's door all day long.
