Madam Chair, I would now like to talk about the issue of gender transitions for prisoners and inmates who have assaulted women.
There was a deplorable case in Saguenay—Lac-Saint-Jean. A pedophile was released and was now identifying as a woman with a different first name, but the information was not shared with the victim he had raped. According to Radio-Canada reports, the victim's family only learned of the attacker's new name and gender identity when they happened to bump into the person. Correctional Service Canada responded that the law prevents it from disclosing information to victims about a sex offender's gender transition.
Does the minister agree with Correctional Service Canada's statement, and will he make the necessary changes to the law?
