Roman Baber Conservative
“Murderers should not get parole hearings every two years. These hearings hurt the victims' families over and over again. I want the minister to change our parole laws to protect these families.”
“Mr. Speaker, serial rapist and killer Paul Bernardo will have a fourth chance at parole this January. The lawyer for the families of Leslie Mahaffy and Kristen French said, “It’s just pure entertainment for [Bernardo].” Sadistic murderers should not have a parole hearing every two years. They traumatize their victims’ families again and again. Conservatives put forward a bill to end this practice, but the Liberals voted it down. I would like a clear answer from the public safety minister. Will the Liberals finally protect these families by scrapping Liberal parole?”
