Mr. Speaker, I agree with the member opposite that some of the things he points to are real issues.
While everything is not addressed in this one bill, it does have a specific focus on bail and sentencing reforms to address what Conservatives have said, over and over again, is a system that does not meet the right balance in ensuring communities are safe and people are held without bail in cases where it can be established that they are a threat to public safety. The issue of repeat violent offenders is what this bail and sentencing reform act is focused on.
Are you saying, by asking that question, that we should not move forward with the most egregious violent offenders and ensuring that our bail system is stronger because the bill does not deal with petty theft in our communities? That seems absurd to me.
