Madam Speaker, after 10 years of the Liberal government, crime and chaos are exploding in rural Newfoundland. Not long ago, a couple of highway gas stations and convenience stores located about 30 kilometres apart, in Stoneville and in Birchy Bay, were hit with a pickup truck as the repeat offenders sought to take out the ATMs there. No charges were laid. The police have their hands tied by the Liberal bail-not-jail justice system.
On behalf of Ruth Burns and Tina Hodder, will the member opposite commit right now to voting against criminals, against the Liberal crime wave, and not only support our Conservative motion to bring jail, not bail, to criminals but also support his people in Madawaska—Restigouche who are tortured by the crime rate in his own riding?
