I ask the member to put the question on notice. I also make the point that the term “sex offender” is not necessarily one that appears in the criminal calendar, and that our statistics are recorded in terms of the offence committed and the offences for which criminals are convicted, so it may not be possible to supply that information on notice from the system in the form the member has asked. I ask the member to put the question on notice, but I say to the member that the term “sex offender” may be one for which we cannot necessarily readily extract the information sought. However, I am certainly happy to work with the member to provide him with that information.
