Mr. Speaker, the community of Surrey is rightly outraged. On Monday, a convicted high-risk sex offender who was released into the community last year was charged with the second degree murder of 17-year-old Serena Vermeersch.
Cases such as these make it clear that we must continue to make the protection of our communities a top priority, especially when it comes to protecting our children.
Our government committed to supporting victims and punishing criminals. Could the Minister of Justice update the House on our progress?
