Mr. Speaker, yes, I do agree that with the Conservatives' proposal, we would have gotten a lot further dealing with the issues at hand, which are courtesy of the Liberals' Bill C-75 and Bill C-5.
I also want to expand on what I was discussing earlier. Bill C-14 would expand reverse onus for violent offences. Expanding reverse onus is better than doing nothing. The issue is that reverse onus still operates inside the same framework the Liberals created with Bill C-75, where release is still the normal outcome. For people with long, violent histories and repeated breaches, the starting point should be public safety. Bill C-14 does not make that shift, and that is why Conservatives want a real presumption of detention for serious repeat violent offenders.
