Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise again to present a petition on behalf of the people of Lakeland constituency and elsewhere.
The petitioners ask the House that bail not be granted for all accused murderers caught in the act of committing their crimes and to give only maximum sentences for those convicted. This petition results from the death of Dana Fair in Lloydminster who was beaten to death by three men with boards. There were many witnesses to this crime. One of the people involved in this crime had a long history of violent crime before and yet he is out on $2,000 bail. The petitioners think that is completely wrong and out of line. They are petitioning the House to change that.
