Mr. Speaker, I would remind the hon. member that what he calls Liberal bail is supported by the Canadian Police Association, the Ontario police association, the police chief in my community and the police chief in his community. In fact, when his police chief showed up at committee, he urged all members, including the Conservative Party, to actually accelerate the process.
The member is citing revisionist history. If we go back and look at the tapes, we will see that he and his colleagues spent the entire fall filibustering, talking about kittens and puppies, not crime and safety.
We are here to defend Canada's communities and the people who call them home. I wish the Conservatives would get out of the way and do something to promote public safety in this country.
