Mr. Speaker, there is still really no answer. At least the member is recognizing that there is a problem and that there has been a real risk to public safety.
However, the real risk to public safety has been the Liberal government. Victims have waited multiple years and multiple Parliaments to get something restored in terms of keeping violent and repeat offenders behind bars. There is no reason they should have had to wait this long. Violent crime is up 50% and extortion has skyrocketed 330%. We are seeing almost daily or weekly drive-by shootings in our cities.
Why have victims had to wait for this through multiple Parliaments? Criminals are being released at the earliest opportunity and under the least onerous conditions. Victims and their families deserve an answer.
