Mr. Speaker, a Canada-wide warrant has been issued for high-risk sex offender, Randall Hopley. His lengthy criminal record includes three sex offences against children. He served six years for kidnapping. He is such a risk that he was designated as a long-term offender, meaning he had a supervision order for years after completing his sentence. He was charged with breaching that order. Rather than jail, he got bail to a halfway house. The protection is an ankle bracelet. Unlike a jail cell, ankle bracelets can be cut, and that is exactly what happened. Even the NDP premier, an ally of the Prime Minister, has raised alarm bells. He said, “Everybody with a four-year-old in their life is thinking about that child right now and the fact that this man is at large.” The government needs to take child safety more seriously: no more bail for sex offenders, no more house arrest for pedophiles. The time has come and gone for the government to act. If the government does not want to act, then it can get out of the way because we will.
