Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the hon. member for his support and hard work on behalf of victims.
We acknowledge that we have a fundamental difference of opinion compared to the Liberal Party and the member for Ajax—Pickering when it comes to criminal justice and public safety.
We do not think that criminals should be paroled after serving one-sixth of their sentence. We think it is wrong that arsonists are allowed to serve their sentence in the comfort of their own homes after they have burned other homes down. We think it is wrong that pardons are granted almost automatically.
Canadians can be assured that the Conservative Party and this government will stand up for victims.
