Mr. Speaker, Canadians are really seeing the true colours of the Liberals when it comes to being tough on crime.
Last week Premier Dalton McGuinty met with the Liberal leader and pleaded with him to ask his Liberal senators to speed up the passage of the tackling violent crime act. The Leader of the Opposition said, no.
Premier McGuinty said:
Now it's winding its way, in a very slow fashion, through the Senate. The Liberals have some influence over that. We want that to receive passage.
Will the Minister of Justice please explain to the Leader of the Opposition why the bill should become the law of the land?
