Canadian Pardon Laws

In Canada criminals can apply for a Pardon, which essentially means that their offences will be erased from their criminal record.  For example, someone who has sexually abused a child can apply for a pardon, and then go and work with children again.  The criteria that must be met to be eligible for a pardon are listed here:

In Winnipeg there is a man named Graham James who sexually assaulted teenage boys over two decades ago but was somehow still able to be coaching hockey currently.  This is because he was granted a pardon in 2007 after serving his sentence for his crimes.   Graham James is now serving another sentence for the same crime, sexually assaulting teenage boys from his hockey team.  You can read the entire story here :

Canada has decided to review our pardon laws and came up with Bill C-23, which was divided into two parts: Bill C-23A and Bill C-23B.  These bills have revisions for our pardon laws that will make it impossible for people like Graham James to review pardons.  Bill C-23A has passed, but Bill C-23B is awaiting review.  You can read about these bills by clicking on the following links:

So what do you think, should it be possible for pedophiles to receive pardons? Or do you agree that these bills should be passed so that these people are never able to work around children again?
