Safe Streets and Communities Act   and to children, the people who ship drugs out of this country, and the people who are in the grow op business for the purposes of trafficking. These issues have been around for four years. I respect the fact that so many of the opposition members oppose that. There are less of them after

Justice  Mr. Speaker, yesterday was a bad day for Canadians worried about drug crime. However, it was a good day for people involved in the grow-op business. They received an early Christmas present from the Liberals in the Senate. The Liberals think that people trafficking in up
