Mr. Speaker, first, I would like to see in the principles a statement that the primary purpose of the bill is to protect innocent people, to protect the citizens of our country from sexual predators. I would like to see the bill have a clause in it that says that any known sexual offenders in our country, and there are many of them who are known, would automatically go into the registry.
What is the point of having a registry if all of the present offenders are not in it? That is the purpose of it, is it not, to identify people who have offended before? If we break it down to just the bare bones purpose stated in this bill it is to help the police do their investigation. How does it help them if it is an empty registry, until it slowly grows over the next years?
I have many more. Could I have another minute? Mr. Speaker, could you ask for unanimous consent?
