Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Recently, there was a convicted sex offender – that’s a predator, the way I view it – on the loose in Yellowknife, and they were on the loose in Yellowknife without the public’s knowledge. That means women, children and even some men were at risk while this predator stalked their next prey. It was my understanding that the police knew that this person was on the prowl and that this predator was looking for their next victim, but the public was not informed.

My question for the Minister of Justice is: When does the public’s interest start to matter enough that they are informed that their personal safety may be at risk and the fact that we should finally be taking a stand that personal safety of the potential victims should matter more than the predator’s confidentiality?
