Replying to Rhonda Kirkland (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, that is an out-of-touch response from the minister. This is not an isolated case. This year alone, Canadians have watched multiple pedophile child killers who have received life sentences get unescorted temporary absences from prison, including two in B.C. within 10 days of each other. Darren Scott Ray received a 72-hour unescorted temporary absence in Oshawa and has been promised two more. Will the government finally act and fix broken Liberal parole—and it is broken Liberal parole because they voted against our bill that would have changed it—and ensure that pedophile child killers serving life sentences stay where they belong behind bars?”
