Mr. Speaker, it is always a pleasure to rise on behalf of the people of Kamloops—Thompson—Nicola.
Before I begin, I want to give a shout-out to one of our staff members, Stephanie Rennick, and wish her a happy birthday. She did not tell us, but it was revealed nevertheless.
I listened with great attention to my colleague's speech. I have never heard so many Liberal talking points that, with all due respect, say absolutely nothing. To say we are aligned with the Liberal government on justice could not be further from the truth. Former ministers of justice Arif Virani and David Lametti told us that we, as Conservatives, are out to lunch. They said, “You don't get bail. The system is working.” That is what they told us, so it is wrong to say that we are aligned. We wanted to act years ago, but they stood on faith and stood on their heels.
I have a bill on intimate partner violence, Bill C-225, which would recognize it and save lives.
Are the Liberals prepared to support it, yes or no?
