Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the member for his support of legislation to protect victims of crime.
Canadians gave our Conservative government a strong mandate to get tough on crime, and we will not apologize for putting the protection of law-abiding Canadians first. That is why we have made significant investments in the RCMP. We have seen recruitment numbers boosted to record levels that former governments could only dream about.
Unlike the NDP and the Liberal Party, we will not put criminals back on the street early just to save a buck.
