Mr. Speaker, the reality is that, after 10 years of Liberals and their soft-on-crime policies, we have seen incredible rates of increase with respect to sexual assault and sexual assaults on children in this country. For a lot of that, again, we have to look at the Criminal Code and how the government views the Criminal Code. The Liberals repeatedly, time and time again, go soft on the people who are violating and abusing women.
When a woman is abused, she has to somehow get the courage and the safety to go to a judge to ask for a peace bond. I put forward a bill so that peace bonds would last at least two years, so woman would not have to go through it 12 months later. A woman often has kids, has a life and is fighting for her safety. The Liberals voted that down at the status of women committee, so I need no lecture from the government on fighting for women and the safety of women. We are the only party that would lock up the perpetrators. Time and time again, we have put that forward, but the legislation has been voted down by the Liberals.
