Conservative on Protecting Victims Act 2026-06-04

42 words · 3 sentences · 4 clauses

Replying to Kevin Lamoureux (Liberal)

“Mr. Speaker, I believe the Conservative Party is being completely self-serving and does not recognize that the changes in Bill C‑16 would make sure that it is constitutionally compliant. Mandatory minimums would be restored. Why is the Conservative Party attempting to deceive Canadians by trying to spread misinformation on important crime-fighting legislation?”
