Mr. Speaker, our Conservative government takes its responsibility to protect Canadians very seriously. That is why we introduced the anti-terrorism bill.
It is an important bill that gives law enforcement officials the tools they need to protect law-abiding citizens from those who would do them harm.
However, the NDP never misses a chance to oppose common-sense measures that would keep Canadians safe.
In a shocking admission yesterday, the NDP member for Esquimalt—Juan de Fuca said that we know what happened to Japanese Canadians in the panic of World War II and that the act would risk those same kinds of restrictions on civil liberties for Canadians.
The NDP needs to come clean. Why does it think Canadians should have less protection from terrorists than the Supreme Court allows?
