Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride that I stand today to present a petition on behalf of the parents, family, friends and community of Dana Fair who was a young man brutally murdered in Lloydminster. The petition, I believe, would help deal with the issue. Dana Fair was beaten to death by three men with boards on September 1, 2001. There were several eye witnesses to Dana's brutal death. These men, Raymond Cannepotatoe, Michael Harper, and Cody Littlewolf, have been charged with second degree murder. Cannepotatoe has been released on $2,000 bail.
The petitioners, and there are thousands across the country, ask that no bail be provided for all accused murderers caught in the act of committing their crimes and only maximum sentences be given to those convicted. On behalf of the parents of Dana Fair I present this petition and hope the government will act on it soon.
