Ontario Premier Doug Ford said that he is willing to use the notwithstanding clause to make parts of the sex offender registry public, saying it will protect victims and improve community safety. The sex offender registry was created in 2001 to help police monitor offenders, and Ontario has historically kept the database restricted to law-enforcement us. Supporters of this move argue that it adds transparency and deterrence. But critics warn it overrides Charter privacy rights, could fuel vigilantism, and sets a risky precedent. With little clarity on what information would be released, the move is expected to face legal and constitutional challenges. To discuss it further from a legal point , RED FM Toronto invited Tejvir Bimb , a criminal lawyer to join on the phone line to share his insights and perspective.
