moved for leave to introduce Bill C-242, An Act to amend the Criminal Code and the Department of Justice Act.
Mr. Speaker, it is an honour to rise to introduce my private member's bill, the jail not bail act. This bill would fix the broken bail system, lock up repeat violent offenders who are terrorizing our communities, and restore safe streets. We have been lucky and blessed to have the support from all levels of government, law enforcement, Crowns, defence lawyers, victim advocacy groups, victims and survivors, and their families.
I look forward to having the support from all members, irrespective of party and affiliation. It is time we restore our safe streets and get Canada back on track.
