He showed no care, because he knew he was getting out. That's what this Liberal government's failed justice policies for the last 10 years have instilled within the criminal element in this country. It has emboldened criminals to do exactly what they are doing, terrorizing communities.
Thank you for that.
To the officers, both of you spoke about first steps. This was a good first step, the government introducing Bill C-14, but you both acknowledged that while it talks about making it tougher for individuals to obtain bail...the same language that they used with the disastrous rollout of Bill C-48, by expanding the list of reverse onus charges.... When you had members of the government, including the prime minister of the day and the former justice minister, proudly stating, “We delivered bail reform. These repeat violent criminals are going to be detained,” we know that was a false promise, a false declaration, because we found ourselves right where we are right now, with catch-and-release.
Will you both agree with me that there is not a pathway in Bill C-14 for automatic detention—yes or no?
