Mr. Speaker, I do not know if my colleague from the government side listened to my entire speech. I was talking generally about the approach the Liberal government has taken toward justice and public safety bills. In my view, it tends to be rushed. It tends to be only after the fact, after there is an outpouring of concern. A case in point is the whole issue regarding bail. I have been addressing this ever since I became an elected member for my riding. I know that my colleague from British Columbia has done the same. In fact, pretty much every member of the Conservative Party has been raising issues surrounding public safety and bail.
It was only after there was an outpouring of concern from premiers, police chiefs, presidents of police associations, and victim advocacy groups that the government walked back its approach. Its approach was that there was nothing wrong with public safety in this country and that it was all an illusion in our mind. That was from the former attorney general, Arif Virani, literally minutes after being sworn in as our Attorney General. I use that as a framework to describe how the government is always reactive as opposed to being proactive.
On the issue of Bill C-22, it is all about finding the right balance, and that was the theme of my speech.
