Gary Anandasangaree, Minister of Public Safety
“I already answered this question. The Parole Board postponed the decision being talked about. I want to honor the memory of Heather Thomas and support her family. Our government wants to protect victims and make the justice system stronger. I want the opposition to work with us to improve our laws.”
“Mr. Speaker, I believe I have answered this question, but let me just address the second issue that came up. I want to take a moment to remember Heather Thomas, who was 10 years old when she was killed. My thoughts are with the family of the loved one. I understand that the Parole Board has decided to postpone the decision that my friend opposite is referring to. Our government is committed to strengthening our criminal justice system and protecting victims’ rights. That is what we will continue to do. We are looking for collaboration from the other side in order to make constructive criminal justice reforms.”
