Mr. Speaker, I am presenting today another 77 pages of petitions containing 1,700 names. The petitions are signed by people from all across Canada who are very concerned about the serious personal injury crimes and sexual offences involving children and in the way the criminals are treated by our justice system.
The petitioners request that changes be made to the Criminal Code. They want to be notified when a sex offender is released into the community. They want a central registry to be available for people who work with children so they will know who has committed these crimes. They want to prohibit pardons for those convicted of sex offences involving children.
I have now presented approximately 25,000 or 30,000 names on this subject.
