Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives talk a big game when it comes to a tough-on-crime agenda, but they fail to point out that one of their members, earlier this week, put a motion before the justice committee that would make it easier for those charged with intimate partner violence to be released on bail.
We were elected on a campaign commitment to put forward rules that would strengthen the bail system, including, specifically, for offences tied to auto theft, home invasion, human trafficking and organized crime, and to stiffen sentences for violent repeat offenders.
If we could take the politics out of this issue, we would be happy to work together to advance the public safety of this country. That is what Canadians demand, and with or without the Conservatives, the Liberal government will deliver.
