Mr. Speaker, violence is escalating and mayors are pleading for help.
Mayor John Tory said recently:
...sentences...must fit the extreme gravity of...gun crimes. And right now, they often don’t.
Even Toronto Police Chief Mark Saunders said that his community is deflated, and front-line officers are frustrated, with repeat gun offenders being granted bail.
The mayors have also called for decisive action on guns coming across the Canada-U.S. border.
Why can the Liberals not see that their soft-on-crime approach is doing the opposite of what leaders are calling for, and work on solving the real causes of gun violence in Canada?
