Mr. Speaker, I sincerely hope that the minister does not think that his responsibility to protect our communities ends when offenders are released.
The circles of support and accountability program has a proven track record. It helps reduce recidivism among sex offenders and makes our communities safer.
This program is so effective that other governments have decided to use it as a model in developing their own programs.
Why did the minister decide to eliminate the program and why not simply reverse that decision immediately?
