Mr. Speaker, our Conservative government is committed to keeping our streets and communities safe. We have passed numerous laws to keep dangerous and violent criminals behind bars where they belong, including new penalties for child exploitation as well as ending the ability of child molesters to get criminal record suspensions.
We did all of this without a massive expansion of the prison population, contrary to the dire predictions of the NDP. How is this possible? When we lock up criminals, they are not out committing more crimes.
Contrast this with the Liberals whose leader has said that they would not rule out ending mandatory sentences for anyone.
When it comes to keeping our streets and communities safe, Canadians know that they can count on our Conservative government.
