Mr. Speaker, what we do have is proof that mandatory minimums do work. Prior to their changing the laws, we did not have an extortion crisis or a crime crisis like we have now. The soft-on-crime framework is intact in this bill still. It keeps the culture of release. It offers no mandatory penalties for dangerous offenders, and it refuses to place public safety at the top of the law. What is missing is exactly what Canadians have been pleading for: firm consequences, clear standards and laws that favour the innocent over the violent. Until that happens, until they fix it, nothing will truly change.
