Madam Speaker, there has been a considerable amount of debate and public concern with respect to the apparent limitations around the scope of citizen's arrest. The Minister of Justice is quoted as saying:
Our government is committed to putting real criminals behind bars. Canadians who have been the victim of a crime should not be re-victimized by the criminal justice system.
I appreciate my colleague's comments and what he had to say about some of those real life experiences that he and his constituents have experienced.
I would ask the member to walk us through the citizen's arrest reforms that are embedded in this piece of legislation.
