Mr. Speaker, it is not true the government has not done anything for victims. Legislation is in place or in process dealing with restitution for victims of crime and helping them in different areas. It is incorrect for him to make that kind of statement. Treatment is so important in the prevention of crime. Sex offenders vary in the degree of their sickness and they need different types of treatment. A blanket coverage of just putting them all in jail forever or not give them conditional release, so they could be treated before they are released into the public is pure irresponsibility.
In the House of Commons on September 28th, 1995. See this statement in context.
