Madam Speaker, I want to thank my colleague from Calgary Skyview for his hard work in his community. We just introduced Bill S-12 in the Senate. It would strengthen the national sex offender registry by requiring all offenders to register, unless they can prove that they do not pose a risk to public safety. Bill S-12 would also give victims more of a say in whether a publication ban is ordered and gives survivors a clearer pathway to modify or revoke a ban. Some victims want to protect their identity, others want to tell their stories. It should be their choice. We look forward to the support of all of our colleagues in the House and Senate to ensure that Bill S-12 is passed quickly.
