[Bail and Sentencing Reform Act, November 3rd, 2025]

Madam Speaker, Canadians are tired of the spin. The government's Bill C-75 and Bill C-5 turned our justice system into a revolving door: catch, release, repeat. Since then, violent crime is up 41%. In my own riding, I sat across from small business owners this weekend who are terrified of extortion, and from families afraid to walk home at night. Add to that record-high immigration levels with no proper vetting, and our neighbours are being shot at while they sleep in their homes. We are watching communities buckle under the pressure.

Please tell me this: After years of failure, why did the Liberals not support the Conservatives' jail not bail bill when they had the chance to fix it?

[Bail Reform, October 28th, 2025]

Mr. Speaker, small business owners used to say that their biggest worry was making payroll. Now it is keeping their doors from being kicked in.

In Vancouver, a restaurant owner, Foz, has been hit so many times by break-ins that the latest one looked like something out of a bad comic book. The thief came dressed as Spider-Man with a knife in this hand, but there was nothing funny about it. His staff are scared to come to work. He has lost over $100,000, and he has stopped calling the police, because every time he does, the same people are back on the street before the paperwork is even done.

This has happened because the Liberals brought in soft-on-crime bail laws that turn revolving doors into escape hatches. Criminals walk free while honest Canadians pay the price in fear, in lost income and in shattered confidence.

Canadians deserve better. We need to keep repeat violent offenders off our streets and give people the confidence to open their doors again. It is time to restore safety, restore fairness and bring back common sense to our justice system.

[Committees of the House, October 27th, 2025]

Madam Speaker, if we are serious about strengthening the Conflict of Interest Act, then we cannot turn a blind eye to the top. The Prime Minister's corporate and shareholder interests are extensive, and Canadians have a right to know whether those holdings intersect with the decisions he is making every day. That is why this amendment calls for witnesses who can shed light on those interests.

Is this review more than a check box, or is it a real test of accountability?

[Citizenship Act, October 27th, 2025]

Mr. Speaker, at a time when our immigration system is already stretched and faith in its fairness is fading, Bill C-3 tells the world that one can be Canadian without ever truly living here. Canadian citizenship is one of the most valuable things in the world. It is something that generations have worked hard to earn and honour, but Bill C-3 would give automatic citizenship to children born abroad, even when their parents have spent little time living in Canada. We used to have an immigration system that was the envy of the world, one rooted in fairness, contribution and community, but the bill risks turning citizenship into a paper privilege rather than a lived commitment.

Before granting citizenship, should we not expect at least some genuine connection and some proof of interest in, effort for or belonging to the country we all call home?

[Citizenship Act, October 27th, 2025]

Mr. Speaker, being Canadian is something people around the world dreamt of, and for good reason. Our immigration system used to be the best: fair, predictable and built on hard work. However, now it is a mess, with millions of temporary residents, hundreds of thousands of undocumented people, and endless backlogs. Instead of fixing the problem, Bill C-3 would make it worse, handing out citizenship without real connection and commitment.

It seems that the government does not understand that the system is in cardiac arrest. Is there any reason why the Liberals refuse to fix the problem?

[Finance, October 20th, 2025]

Mr. Speaker, when a family cannot balance its books, they lose the trust of the bank. When a government cannot do so, it loses the trust of investors, and that is dangerous when we have to refinance $473 billion this year alone. If Canada looks reckless, borrowing will only get more expensive, and every Canadian will pay the price. Canada needs a budget that shows fiscal discipline, but the current finance minister is the same guy who, as the industry minister, helped Trudeau double our debt.

Will the Prime Minister show some fiscal discipline and commit to not exceeding his $42-billion promise in the upcoming budget?

[Finance, October 20th, 2025]

Mr. Speaker, Canadians were told that borrowing billions would make their lives better, but 10 years later, the only thing growing faster than the debt is the cost of living. This year alone, the Liberals have to refinance $473 billion in debt, and that will only get harder if the government keeps spending as though the bill will never come due. We cannot spend our way out of inflation.

Will the Prime Minister keep his word and hold the deficit under $42 billion in the next budget?

[Business of Supply, October 2nd, 2025]

Mr. Speaker, most important right now is understanding that, across Canada, when extortionists target banquet halls, when young women like Tori Dunn are murdered by someone already facing multiple charges and when seniors in Langley are afraid to walk outside after a brutal attack, those are all costs. They show up in policing, in health care, in lost economic activity and in the trauma families carry.

We need to scrap the Liberal bail.

[Business of Supply, October 2nd, 2025]

Mr. Speaker, honestly, I want to come back to the real issue, and that is the Liberal catch-and-release system. That is the problem. Right now, judges are told to start from the principle of restraint, which tilts the balance away from public safety. That is not the fault of the judiciary. It is the framework the House handed it with Bill C-75.

We need to scrap the Liberal bail. The jail not bail act would not undermine judges. It would empower them to protect the public. It would direct them to weigh community safety first. It would ensure that they see the full record of the accused. It would give them tools to deny bail when serious risk is reasonably foreseeable. Judges need a law that lets them keep dangerous people behind bars, which is what our bill would deliver. It is a framework built on common sense, not catch and release.
