Prison Visiting Committees: Motion.

 

10:30 am

John Minihan (Progressive Democrats)

The Minister is only in office a short time. Mr. Justice Kinlen's brief was established in April 2002 and I am not aware of any interim report from him. The motion before us tonight is a little tongue in cheek in the sense that there is merit in it, but it is disingenuous in that there are political overtones coming from the other side of the House. Whereas I want to support necessary reform, I do not support the tone of the motion.
