Mr. Speaker, my hon. colleague gave an excellent speech. The member comes from the Vaughan area, essentially exactly where my riding is, and she knows all too well the serious consequences that we have had in our community with respect to crime. At one point we had seven shootings in just three weeks in our community. Something definitely needs to be done.
I have been listening to this debate, and I keep hearing over and over again how Conservatives are apparently delaying bail reform. However, we have wanted bail reform for the last four years. Now that the bill is on the table, we want the Liberals to go the full way and get rid of the principle of restraint.
I wonder if the member could elaborate on why the Liberal government needs to take seriously the consideration of our amendments on the principle of restraint and why they do not need to just clarify it but to remove it altogether.
