Mr. Speaker, there is not a less credible voice when it comes to criminal justice reform than the Leader of the Opposition. In the past few weeks, he has called the RCMP “despicable”. He has attacked Crown prosecutors, and he has suggested his political opponents should be jailed.
The legislation we tabled today will make it harder to get bail for violent repeat offenders and will strengthen sentencing for serious criminals. Criminal justice reform demands a conversation that would engage the adults in the room. The Conservatives have a leadership review coming up; I invite them to choose one.
