Mr. Speaker, last week Canada's top cop, Toronto police chief Julian Fantino admitted to an international conference on child exploitation that he was “embarrassed and ashamed by the performance of our criminal justice system that in essence has put the rights of pedophiles ahead of the rights of children”. He went on to say “Canada lacks both the vision, determination and the moral courage to address this issue”, words I have heard from many parts of this country.
When will the government obliterate conditional sentences and house arrest for these horrific crimes against children?
