Honorable Wally Oppal.

Wally considers himself a failure as he tried out for a major baseball team but sent home after just a week.

A great win for our community and his career in law.

Rotary is to be congratulated with its work in Literacy. Education makes such a difference in a person’s life.

Most petty criminals are poorly educated and if we can get at least a basic education into them they stand a chance of living a productive life.

Literacy and robbery don’t go together.

There is always a risk in public speaking.  It is easy to be misinterpreted.

The cost of the missing woman’s inquiry is over $8 million so far.

Woman started going missing in 1991 and throughout the whole 90 s

Problem was no bodies were being found.  No bodies.  No case for inquiry.

Picton is the greatest murderer in Canadian history.  He admitted to 49.

Police think 110 or more.

He was finally charged in 2007 with 26 offences.

The investigations of the case including the digging cost more than $200 million.

The prosecutors cost another $11 million.

The inquiry was worth it.  We were looking at the most disadvantaged in society.

Drug addicted woman.

We mustn’t make the same mistakes again.  Each police department blamed the other but they need to have instructions to share information.  This will help that.

Our criminal justice system is one of the best in the world and we need to keep it that way.

Police come from all over the world to study here.

We must be careful not to be too slow to change but change we must.

We have a good society without much gangland killings or mistakes in our incarcerations.

Just %7 of criminals commit %80 of our crimes.

We need to get into prevention of crimes not larger jails.  Our jails are full.

The speaker was thanked by Davinder.
