Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister promised to fix the broken bail system, but he left for summer vacation without delivering, and he returns to Parliament still empty-handed.
Let me share with members how bad the crime waves are in Brampton and across Canada: Violent crime is up 55%, gun crime is up 130%, hate crimes are up 258%, extortion is up 350%, and overdoses are tearing through our neighbourhoods. In Brampton, a home invasion resulted in the death of a young Canadian. This is becoming the norm in Canada.
Canadians deserve a justice system that protects Canadians. It is time to put victims ahead of criminals. Let us put repeat violent offenders in jail and not give them bail. Canadians expect safer streets and neighbourhoods, not more Liberal delays and excuses. It is time for action, and it is time for change.
I urge the Prime Minister to put political games aside and protect Canadians from these everyday crimes.
