Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to have that question. That question is about this legislation. That question is about what we are trying to do here.
One of the important changes we would make with this legislation would be to make it very clear that the protection of the public is paramount. That would be the very first consideration, the paramount consideration, when review boards were looking at this.
The member is alluding, as well, to the fact that we have a whole new designation, the high-risk offender designation. We are going to get out of the business, as it were, of escorted passes for individuals who get this designation. This designation is for a small group of highly dangerous individuals who have been designated so by the courts. They will be detained within the institution for their protection and for the public's protection unless the procedures outlined in the bill are followed.
I hear what the hon. member is saying. This is a definite improvement, and that is why I think the bill has been so well received.
