Throne Speech
Encouraging…
The government will also crack down on crime,
with a special focus on protecting children, women and victims of white collar
offences. Proposed laws will toughen penalties for sex crimes against kids,
strengthen the sex offender registry and impose new measures to stop internet
luring and cyber abuse.
“ Justice must be effective swift and true “
It must also be fair for victims of crime.
Our campaign this year included a petition we asked for
you to return to your MP or to the CASE offices.
In a joint effort with Canadian Family Action Coalition (CFAC), we have
forwarded all the petitions (approx 15000) and material to Ottawa where Brian
Rushfeldt and Nathan Cooper (CFAC) have meetings with MP’s and government
officials the week of March 15, 2010. Every
MP has received some material from the CFAC Calgary office, Rebecca McCarrell of
CASE met with MP Jeff Watson, Essex, and Jake Sinke (CFAC, Niagara) met with MP
Dean Allison, Niagara West - Glanbrook. On
several occasions this group has met with the Minister of Justice, Rob Nicholson
(Niagara Falls) as well as his
staff. From these visits we expect Bill C 58 to be returned to the
table. Twenty two MPs (that we are aware of) from four parties have also
been sent signed ribbons, a letter, and back up material.
THANK YOU goes
to you the supporters of our Ribbon of Signature Campaign!
