Mr. Speaker, after nine years under the NDP-Liberals, taxes are up, costs are up, crime is up and time is up.
Under the Liberal government, repeat violent offenders are getting bail and parole; justice for victims is being ignored. In fact, 256 people were killed in 2022 by criminals out on bail or another form of release. These 256 people could still be alive today if not for the broken Liberal bail system. Just last month, a serial rapist was granted day parole only four years after he was convicted of sexually assaulting five women while working as a nightclub promoter. Is it any wonder that sexual assaults are up 75% over the past nine years? However, the NDP continues to prop up the Liberals and their soft-on-crime agenda. The Liberal government continues to enable putting criminals before victims.
However, today, members can do the right thing and vote non-confidence in the Liberal government. Only a Conservative government would deliver justice for Canadians and bring home safe streets.
