Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the RCMP have discretion to disclose, through this public interest disclosure, an offender of a serious nature when they find out that they are going into a community. I think it is a judgment call for them, and it is a difficult decision at times because you have to balance off the public interest with the right of privacy issues of individuals, particularly if they have fulfilled their sentence, as would have been the case with Mr. Desbiens.
I think the precautions that have to be taken is that once the public interest disclosure is made, it heightens the awareness for the community so that individuals who would be at risk can take some necessary precautions not to expose themselves to a situation where they may become at risk with an individual. I think the RCMP, recognizing that an individual of this designation is coming back to the community, will more than likely have their own contingency plan on how they may beef up the situation to try to alleviate the concerns of the public, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.
