Canada: Ford government open to using notwithstanding clause to publish sex offenders registry

Somewhere the size of Ontario, it could be argued this would make him an accessory to murder.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford says he will use the notwithstanding clause if necessary to make information from the sex offender registry public as he eyes changes to the system.

Currently, the Ontario Sex Offender and Sex Trafficker Registry is accessible to police enforcement agencies but not to members of the public.

On Monday, Ford indicated he was planning to change that.

“We’re going to make sure the sex offender registry is out there in public,” he said. “And sure, we’re probably going to get shot down from the courts again, but I’ll use every single tool available to make sure we protect victims over sex offenders.”
