“A convicted child murderer was let out of prison on a temporary pass into the community where his victim's classmates live. Our parole system is broken. When will the government fix it and put victims and safety first?”
“Mr. Speaker, Darren Scott Ray raped, tortured and murdered a 14-year-old boy, Darren Pepin, in Scarborough. He strangled this child to death and dumped his body in the garbage room of his apartment building. He was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison. Today, many of Darren’s young former classmates, who now call Oshawa and Durham region home, are in the very community where this killer was granted a 72-hour unescorted temporary absence. When will the government fix broken Liberal parole and finally put victims and public safety first?”
