Mr. Speaker, I rise today to table part of a petition signed by 10,000 people from Abitibi-Témiscamingue and elsewhere in Quebec. This petition came about because of the events at Taschereau on May 4, 1998, in which two people lost their lives.
This petition calls for a review of the criteria for granting parole under certain circumstances.
I will forward the full petition to the Minister of Justice so that she may proceed and give these people satisfaction.
