Mr. Speaker, on April 23, Clermont Bégin, a 40-year-old sex offender sentenced to 11 years in prison, was released after serving his full sentence. The public has expressed concern and confusion about Clermont Bégin's return to the community.
The new government has introduced Bill C-27 to ensure that dangerous offenders with a high risk to reoffend receive harsher penalties and more supervision following their release.
Why do the Liberals and the Bloc not support this bill, which would protect Canadians from such dangerous offenders?
When will the Liberals and the Bloc stand up for victims instead of criminals?
