Mr. Speaker, again we have heard common sense. That is exactly what we have to do. We have to protect against having future victims. That is what it is all about. That is the bottom line and that is why it has to be retroactive. We do not want to see people persecuted. There does not have to be a picture on every fence post, but we have to protect those future potential victims. As the member says, it has to be just in the school system and in the police system so they know where to go when someone reoffends or there is an offender from that list.
