Mr. Speaker, my question is for the solicitor general.
Kevin Machell is the prime suspect in a double murder in Summerland, British Columbia. Machell was on day parole at the time of the murders. Officials at the solicitor general's department failed to take action for some 24 hours after Machell did not report to his halfway house even though the minister's own policy is to report within the hour.
Can the minister tell me, does he condone his department's decision to wait some 24 hours to report that Machell did not report to his halfway house?
