Petition to the House of Commons
- The shocking recent transfer of Canada's most notorious criminal Paul Bernardo, from maximum to medium security imprisonment, shines a light clearly onto ineffective legislation of the Dangerous Offenders Designation in Canada;
- The Constitutional Act, 1867 provides the federal government exclusive lawmaking power over criminal law and criminal process; and
- It is the government's responsibility to ensure that Canadians are safe from dangerous criminals.
