Public Safety committee  Can you repeat the question, Mr. Kurek?

Public Safety committee  I find the word “blame” a bit strong. Obviously, mistakes were made, such as letting the man out too early and letting him believe that it was possible to visit these establishments. I believe that the permission to do so had already been withdrawn at the time of the murder. The

Public Safety committee  I think that Ms. Wesley covered everything. There must be training. It's necessary to ensure that part of this training focuses specifically on sex workers. It's also necessary to consider any intersectionality that may exist. In addition to the training, the human being who ma

Public Safety committee  In this case, training doesn't seem sufficient. This requires a great deal of work. I'd like to talk about training for Correctional Service of Canada and Parole Board of Canada employees. The person who gave the man permission to see sex workers should have realized that this

Public Safety committee  I'm sure Ms. Wesley will have a lot to say. Earlier, I didn't mean to say that the Correctional Service of Canada should not notify massage parlours.

To comment on a previous question, I would say that I don't think it's necessar

Public Safety committee  It's hard to say. What I do know I read in the papers, and since certain things published on other subjects were not necessarily true, I don't know whether I can answer your question on the basis of the information I read. That said, the perpetrator, like any man who commits femi

Public Safety committee  Of course, we would like to see the report. From our standpoint, however, parole is really just one aspect of the situation. As mentioned, we feel it is much more important to keep the focus on decriminalization.

Public Safety committee  Yes.

Public Safety committee  Good afternoon. Thank you for this opportunity. I represent Projet intervention prostitution Québec, or PIPQ. We work specifically to address sexual exploitation and prostitution on three fronts. First, we provide a place where people can go for their basic needs. Second, we w
