Madam Speaker, they laugh. This is the president of the Toronto Police Association; they should wake up. Every day, Canadians are waking up to more news of shootings and murders. The minister bragged that his bail reform bill would make our streets safer, but the truth is, more criminals are out on bail and Canadians are more frightened than ever. The bill is a complete failure.
How many more lost lives is it going to take for the government to finally embrace jail, not bail, for serious violent offenders?
