Original language of petition: English
Petition to the House of Commons in Parliament assembled
- For over eight years, the Liberal government has put the privileges of criminals ahead of the rights of victims;
- Frequent parole hearings often revictimize and retraumatize the families of victims of murder;
- The Liberal government has failed to respond to the Bissonnette decision, disregarding the impact that this decision will have on the families of victims of some of Canada’s most heinous murderers; and
- Bill S-281, Brian’s Bill, is a modest response to Bissonnette that puts victims first by preventing convicted murderers from applying for parole every year after serving their minimum sentence.
