Liberal on Business of Supply 2026-05-28

32 words · 3 sentences · 3 clauses

Replying to Brad Redekopp (Conservative)

“Mr. Chair, Conservatives gave the minister multiple opportunities to admit tonight that the Liberals have failed the victims of foreign criminals. Her answer was “Oh well”, and she demurred on the importance. I will give her one more chance. Will she commit tonight to amending the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act so foreign criminals no longer get sentencing discounts?”
