“Under current rules, murderers can ask for parole over and over. This forces victims' families to relive their pain. Conservatives proposed a bill to stop this, but the Liberals voted against it. Why are the Liberals protecting killers instead of victims' families?”
“Mr. Speaker, under the Liberal government’s parole regime, a murderer can ask for freedom again and again. Each hearing forces grieving families to relive the worst trauma of their lives. Paul Bernardo’s fourth chance at parole is approaching. Once again, the families of Kristen French and Leslie Mahaffy are being forced to relive this nightmare. Victims’ families and police are calling for parole reform. Conservatives proposed legislation to make it happen. The Liberals voted no. Why are the Liberals protecting repeat parole hearings for killers instead of protecting victims’ families?”
