Mr. Frank Caputo (Kamloops—Thompson—Cariboo, CPC)

Mr. Speaker, there are only 736 dangerous offenders currently in custody, or were in custody, in 2022. These are the worst of the worst offenders, people like Paul Bernardo, pedophiles and repeat rapists. The most violent of records get this designation. In Canada, federal penitentiaries with minimum-security designations generally do not have fences. People can just walk away, yet 57 of these dangerous offenders, the worst of the worst, were in minimum security last year. What will this minister do to rectify the situation so that dangerous offenders cannot just walk away?
