“Canadians have lost faith in the parole system. The ringleader of the Toronto 18 terror plot was just granted full parole, even though he planned to bomb Parliament and military bases. When will the government take responsibility and fix parole?”

“Mr. Speaker, Canadians are losing faith in the parole system, and it is time for the Liberal government to take responsibility. Zakaria Amara, the ringleader of the Toronto 18 terrorist plot who wanted to bomb Parliament, who wanted to bomb National Defence bases and who wanted to bomb CSIS, was recently granted full parole. No wonder the people of Canada have lost faith in the parole system. When will the Liberal government take responsibility and reform parole?”

“The parole board follows the laws Parliament passes, so we must change them. A dangerous offender was recently given day parole for violent sexual assault. The government needs to take responsibility and fix the parole system.”

“Yes, Mr. Speaker, those independent decisions are based on the laws that this House passes and this House must act now. Another reason Canadians are losing faith: Christopher Roulston, a designated dangerous offender who is doing time, an indeterminate sentence for sexual assault with a weapon and uttering threats, was recently granted day parole. He is a dangerous offender, a terrorist. When will these Liberals take accountability, stop blaming independence and reform parole?”

“A convicted murderer in my community was denied parole, but the government is still letting him leave prison alone for 60 days. I want the government to explain why it is allowing this.”

“Mr. Speaker, recently I spoke with Tina from my community, whose nine-year-old son was murdered by Douglas Lambier. In the 21 years since her son’s murder, her life has never been the same. While his parole was recently denied by the government, Mr. Lambier has been allowed to have a 60-day unescorted absence to attend a program. Why is the Liberal government allowing a murderer who the Parole Board deems unfit to rejoin society to have a 60-day unescorted absence?”
