Opposition Motion—Passage of Bill C-242 Members debate the Conservative's proposed "Jail Not Bail Act" (Bill C-242) for criminal justice reform. Conservatives argue that violent crime is up 55% due to Liberal "catch and release" policies, advocating for immediate passage to prioritize public safety. Liberals state they are developing significant bail reform for this fall, emphasizing comprehensive, constitutionally compliant changes, and addressing root causes of crime. The Bloc Québécois expresses concern for victims and supports measures to crack down on criminal organizations, but cautions against rushing the bill and infringing on fundamental rights. 53300 words, 7 hours in 2 segments: 1 2.

Question Period

The Conservatives criticize the Liberal government's bail laws for causing crime and releasing repeat offenders, urging their repeal for a jail not bail act. They also condemn the failure to secure a U.S. trade deal, leading to job losses and a shrinking economy, and for increasing food prices through taxes.

The Liberals emphasize their commitment to comprehensive bail reform to strengthen laws and address intimate partner violence. They defend their economic record, highlighting job creation and efforts to combat US tariffs, while also celebrating the success of the Canadian dental care plan and stating there is no GST on food. They also touch on Canada Post viability and border security.

The Bloc criticizes the government for creating a Canada Post crisis with unconsulted service cuts, leading to a general strike and paralyzed services. They also condemn repeated trade failures, including new US tariffs on lumber, harming Quebec's economy.

The NDP questions the authorization for a parliamentary secretary's announcement on the Kneecap group's entry into Canada.

The Greens questioned the government's role in denying entry to the Kneecap band, or if it was an MP.

Adjournment Debates

Canada disability benefit amount Elizabeth May argues that the Canada disability benefit is insufficient to lift people out of poverty and urges the government to increase the benefit amount and broaden eligibility. Wade Grant defends the program, citing the number of people receiving it, and noting that the government is consulting with provinces to avoid clawbacks.

Evraz Steel Plant Layoffs Warren Steinley questions the Liberal government's policies affecting the Evraz steel plant in Regina, citing layoffs and investment fleeing the energy sector. Corey Hogan defends the government's approach, highlighting the One Canadian Economy Act and pipeline approvals. Steinley then criticizes the government's record on interprovincial trade.

National aerial firefighting fleet Gord Johns urges the government to invest in a sovereign aerial firefighting fleet by converting retired military aircraft. Wade Grant says the government is exploring all options to bolster wildfire response and mentions Canada's aerospace industry. Johns argues the investment outweighs costs and benefits reconciliation. Grant states safety is a priority.
