Text

The issue comes to my office almost weekly. Recently, I spoke with a mother: she has five young children and lives in a cul-de-sac, and three sex offenders live in her area. What steps will your Department or others connected to it take to ensure that a community has given consent before a registered sex offender is housed in it?

Assessment

Not analysed

This is the same MLA’s follow-up within the exchange on their own question. It is analysed together with that question and is not counted separately, so one question is never counted twice.
