Mr. Speaker, under the Liberal government, Canada has seen an explosion in crime. The Liberals' soft-on crime policies have allowed hardened, violent criminals out on bail and house arrest. I encounter off-duty RCMP officers who tell me it is so bad that the drug dealers they arrest are back out on the street in mere hours. One such case in my community cost the life of a young girl, when a dangerous criminal on house arrest kidnapped and drowned her.
Conservatives want to repeal Liberal bail policies and house arrest for violent criminals and to lock up violent repeat offenders. We want to bring in mandatory prison time for extortionists, human traffickers and fentanyl dealers. We want to end lenient sentencing discounts for violent non-citizens that are designed to prevent them from being deported.
It is time for the Liberals to get on board and reject their 10 years of failed soft-on-crime Liberal policies that have unleashed chaos on our streets.
Conservatives will always stand up for the rights of victims and law-abiding Canadians. It is time for the Liberals to do the same.
