Mr. Speaker, I have a number of petitions containing over 5,000 signatures from people from across Canada who point out, as others have today, that Canadian law does not prohibit convicted criminals from profiting financially by selling their stories, videos or copyrighting videos or in other ways profiting from the crimes they have committed.
The petitioners call on Parliament to enact Bill C-205, which I introduced, at the earliest opportunity. The third hour of debate will be next Tuesday whereupon there will be a vote on the principle next Tuesday evening, I hope.
The petitioners ask that this bill be enacted as quickly as possible.
