Madam Speaker, I rise to present yet another petition from constituents in Calgary regarding parents who are concerned for the safety of our children. The petitioners I represent are concerned about making our streets safer for their children. They are opposed to the current status quo in the screening of pedophiles within the community. The petitioners pray that a federally implemented pedophile registry be established in order to better protect our children.
In the House of Commons on December 5th, 1996. See this statement in context.
