Mr. Speaker, our party promised to eliminate house arrest for people who commit serious crime.
Last night in the justice committee, opposition members, led by the Liberals, unanimously passed amendments that would virtually gut Bill C-9. The Liberals want house arrest to still apply to arson, to robbery, to auto theft, and to break and enter into homes. Victims of these crimes will tell us that house arrest is not a suitable punishment; it is a joke.
Why will the Liberals not help us restore Canadians' confidence in the justice system?
