He attributed the prison conditions to Liberal laws making prison rules too soft and asked why a dangerous offender is housed there.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .

“A convicted child killer and sex offender is staying in a prison with no fences, nice housing, and tennis courts. Liberal laws made prison rules too soft. I want to know why a dangerous criminal is allowed to live in a place like this.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, I have a surprising project to tell members about. Imagine this: no fences, beautiful townhouse-style living, tennis courts, and fishing in the Rideau River over the summertime. No, I am not talking about a new housing project. I am talking about a jail, a penitentiary in fact, that houses notorious sex offender and child killer Darren Scott Ray. That is right. This person was considered so dangerous that police had to follow him around everywhere he went when he was released for just 72 hours, yet he lives in a jail without fences and with a little slice of paradise, having comforts like a tennis court, a beautiful kitchen and all the freedom in the world. The Liberals bungled this with Bill C-83 and their “least restrictive” measure. Why is it that somebody who is a child-killing sex offender who needs to be supervised every single minute can live in a place without fences?
