Mr. Speaker, obviously, the government is committed to addressing public safety issues and ensuring that repeat violent offenders, where it makes sense, do not get out on bail and have tougher sentences. I think we have always maintained that. I know the members opposite like to put forward proposals and legislation that would get struck down by the Supreme Court and be deemed unconstitutional or unaligned with the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
We are looking to strike the right balance. When we see our justice system not striking the right balance between the liberties that Canadians enjoy and the consequences for people who choose to break the law, we are zeroing in and addressing those issues.
We have consulted all across the country. We are very clearly doing the right things in this bill because mayors, ministers of justice at the provincial level and all of the police associations agree with us.
