Mr. Speaker, it has happened again in my community of Abbotsford, British Columbia.
William Gibson Brown was sentenced to 11 years for a violent rape. He got out of prison and then recently sexually assaulted some of our children. He received a conditional sentence, no time in jail on the condition he does not do it again. Yesterday he was back in court again. What for? Molesting a five year old boy.
My question is for the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Justice. Why does the government refuse to prevent serious sex offenders from receiving conditional sentences, no time in jail?
