Weston says the concerns expressed to him about John O'Brien are mainly about the nature of his crimes and his risk of re-offending which is described by Police Chief Bill Reid as moderate. He concedes it doesn't make him feel good as an M-P to hear the concerns and worry from his constituents.
The concerns voiced to Weston are being passed along to the federal minister of Public Safety.
Weston tells Tide News he even considered introducing a private member's bill to deal with the issue but points out statutory release is a fact of the Canadian judicial system unless you're deemed a dangerous offender.
