“The crime mentioned is terrible, and we condemn it. However, the parole board makes its own decisions without the government. We have already improved the justice system, and we will keep working with victims and survivors to make the parole system stronger.”
“Mr. Speaker, the incident that my friend opposite speaks about is abhorrent, and we condemn it in all possible terms, but let me just be clear: The Parole Board of Canada makes decisions independently. We as a government have made significant changes to the criminal justice system, and we will continue to listen to victims and ensure that the right changes are in place. We will continue to work with survivors, victims and the organizations that work with them in order to strengthen our parole system.”
