Madam Speaker, I want to clarify that I did not announce the content of any future bills. Rather, I said that a bill consistent with our election commitments would be introduced this fall. One of those commitments was bail reform.
Canadians have told us that there is room for improvement in our justice system. Our decision to improve Canada's bail system does not mean that we think judges are not doing their job properly, quite the contrary. That is not at all what we have been hearing.
Here is what we are going to do. We are going to make it harder for violent repeat offenders to be released on bail. We are also going to increase the penalties for the most serious violent crimes committed by repeat offenders, including organized crime, home invasion, auto theft and human trafficking.
The public expects us to take action on these issues. Canadians want action. They have asked us to make changes to our legal system so that we can tackle these crimes and create safer communities.
Our Liberal government has listened to the people. We want to deliver on what has been asked of us.
