Mr. Speaker, for years now, police associations, mayors and individuals across this country have been demanding bail reform. Violent crime is surging. Over and over again we see the same story: Repeat violent offenders are out on bail committing crimes and terrorizing our citizens.
If the Liberals wanted to act and had a sense of urgency, they would have introduced bail reform at the beginning of the session of Parliament, but clearly they continue to delay. If they want to do what is right, they can step aside and allow us to introduce legislation and fix the problem for them.
