Mr. Speaker, as we approach summer and look at our accomplishments it is clear that this government is getting the job done on criminal justice.
We set out with an ambitious plan to clean up the disastrous Liberal soft on crime agenda that allowed violent criminals back into the community, handcuffed prosecutors, marginalized victims and allowed organized crime to prosper.
We are delivering on our commitment to make our streets safer by getting tough on violent, repeat offenders and cracking down on organized crime and gangs.
Over the past 18 months we introduced 13 bills and only have two yet to be passed by this House.
We have passed laws that deny house arrest to serious violent offenders, make street racing a crime and expanded the use of DNA evidence for tracking criminals.
We are waiting on the Senate to pass five important bills that include mandatory penalties and a reverse onus on bail for gun crimes and raising the age of protection to 16.
This government is getting the job done and, as the justice minister says, we are just getting started.
