Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my hon. colleague for his excellent speech.
Since it came to power, the government has been introducing public safety and justice bills that have often been rehashed, sometimes to death. The government prorogues Parliament and then re-introduces old bills with big press conferences and lots of grandstanding, saying that they care about public safety. Bill S-2 is just that kind of rehashed bill. It has already been studied in committee. A report on the registry has even been produced.
Would my colleague not agree that when it comes to public safety, the government likes to make a show of things, instead of actually tackling crime?
