Whereas:
Crimes committed against children can cause lifelong physical, psychological, and emotional harm to some of the most vulnerable members of Canadian society
The protection, safety, and well-being of children must remain a paramount priority within Canada’s criminal justice system
Many Canadians believe that sentencing and offender release provisions for serious offences committed against children should appropriately reflect the gravity of these crimes and strengthen public confidence in the justice system
Parliament has a responsibility to ensure that federal criminal laws prioritize the protection of children and accountability for those who commit serious offences against them.
