Mr. Speaker, I join the member opposite in expressing our deepest condolences to the Lévesque family in this tragedy.
Public safety is and must be the main consideration in all parole decisions. The Parole Board of Canada makes these decisions independently based on a long-standing criteria established to promote safe and effective reintegration of offenders into society. In this case, the commissioner of Correctional Services and the chair of the Parole Board have agreed to jointly conduct a full investigation into all of the circumstances that led to this tragic case to ensure that all established protocols are followed and that lessons are learned.
