Mr. Speaker, Procedure · 9 wordsI have a surprising project to tell members about.Procedure Claims · 49 wordsImagine this: no fences, beautiful townhouse-style living, tennis courts, and fishing in the Rideau River over the summertime. No, I am not talking about a new housing project. I am talking about a jail, a penitentiary in fact, that houses notorious sex offender and child killer Darren Scott Ray.¹ Procedure · 3 wordsThat is right.Procedure Claims · 67 wordsThis person was considered so dangerous that police had to follow him around everywhere he went when he was released for just 72 hours, ²³yet he lives in a jail without fences and with a little slice of paradise, having comforts like a tennis court, a beautiful kitchen and all the freedom in the world. The Liberals bungled this with Bill C-83 and their “least restrictive” measure.⁴ Positioning · 26 wordsWhy is it that somebody who is a child-killing sex offender who needs to be supervised every single minute can live in a place without fences?Positioning
