Mr. Speaker, Canadians are tired of that spin. The government's bills, Bill C-75 and Bill C-5, turned our justice system into a revolving door of catch, release and repeat. Since then, violent crime is up 41%. In my own riding, I have sat across from small business owners who are terrified of extortion and families afraid to walk home at night. They are perfect examples of why the system does not work when we loosen it up.
