Mr. Speaker, recently some have raised concerns about the practice of putting two convicted criminals into one prison cell. The Correctional Investigator expressed his fears over the diminished privacy and dignity of rapists and murderers. While it is important that the correctional system actually corrects criminal behaviour, my constituents are more concerned about the rights of the victims than the rights of criminals.
Could the Minister of Public Safety tell the House why college students and members of the Canadian Armed Forces can share accommodations but some others think it is wrong for convicted criminals to do the same?
