Mr. Speaker, this is absolutely amazing. The member just said that the courts of appeal are now saying that some of these conditional sentences are not appropriate. What a revelation.
The last time I looked I thought it was the Liberal government that was supposed to be directing what happens in the criminal justice system. The former justice minister was the one who brought in conditional sentencing and it was his Liberal colleagues who supported it.
That is where the mistake was made. Now, surprise, surprise, after the Reform Party has been talking about it ever since the Liberal government brought in that insane legislation, the courts of appeal are now saying that it is not appropriate to let violent criminals walk out of jail with no jail time after being convicted.
We will never stop talking about the deplorable state of our justice system. We will never stop talking about the reality of the crime that is happening.
