Mr. Speaker, the public safety minister is not listening to his own corrections officers.
The corrections officers and staff at Stony Mountain penitentiary in my riding are extremely worried about their own safety. Why? It is because the Liberal government is putting needles in the hands of hardened criminals. Stony Mountain is home to some of the most dangerous offenders in Canada, and the last thing we should be doing is arming inmates with contaminated needles.
Why is the minister putting the illegal drug use of convicts ahead of the safety of our hard-working corrections officers?
