Mr. Speaker, this is why we repeatedly say the Liberals are soft on crime. We have seen from them, for so many years, this deference to the accused and the convicted instead of their listening to victims.
When we get a chance to talk to somebody who went through, in particular, the parole process, or any of the court processes, we hear their stories and their frustration with the lack of information available about releases on specific days and the inability to actually put forward victim impact statements. It is devastating to listen to.
At the end of the day, it is Parliament that should reign supreme. When there are judges who make decisions that do not make sense, when we talk to our constituents about the fact that they do not make sense, we should be able to overrule and decide that serious, repeat murderers deserve consecutive sentences and should stay behind bars for life, because life should mean life.
