Mr. Speaker, our government has a strong record of putting victims first, getting tough on serious and violent offenders, and keeping our streets and communities safe. For too long, Canadians have lost confidence in our justice system because those who commit crimes such as sexual assault, kidnapping or arson would only be sentenced to house arrest. Those of us on the government side believe that people who burn other people's houses down should not be allowed to serve out their sentences in the comfort of their own homes.
Can the Minister of Justice please provide the House with an update on our government's legislation to eliminate house arrest for serious crimes?
