Mr. Speaker, we saw some horrific stories come out of Quebec. We talked about an offender who was released from prison and that evening killed a prostitute. We know he had violence in his life. Many reports had come out, stating that this person should not be left on day parole. Unfortunately, the parole officer told this person that he could buy sex. To me, a person who had used a hammer to killed another young woman is not someone we would want on our streets. One of the things were looking at amending was ensuring parole officers were also engaged in this process.
In the House of Commons on October 2nd, 2020. See this statement in context.
