As we discussed last week, the federal government is proposing a series of updates to Canada’s Sex Offender Registry. Three years ago, calls were rapidly growing to make this list public knowledge, as only police services had immediate access to that database. Over 37,000 people backed that growing support through a petition. Yet, the Trudeau Liberals aren’t expected to consider that proposal as one of the potential alterations. Should this list be made public? Kristy Cameron chats with Janine Benedet, a Professor at the Peter A. Allard School of Law at the University of British Columbia.
