Mr. Speaker, it is evident that the justice minister continues to support the right of murders to a full judge and jury review of their parole ineligibility after serving just 15 years of a life sentence. By doing so, the justice minister continues to support the criminal and ignores the pain and anguish of the families of murder victims.
The minister and his government have repeatedly taken the side of the criminal at the expense of law abiding Canadians. Why does the minister of justice not eliminate section 745 of the Criminal Code completely and deny all first degree murderers, including Clifford Olson, any opportunity for early release and demonstrate his willingness to come down on the side of the victim?
