Mr. Speaker, Claims · 111 wordswhen I rose in the House previously in question period, I asked the Minister of Public Safety about charges being stayed against two fentanyl traffickers who were arrested and in court in Swift Current.¹ Police found 17.5 pounds of fentanyl in their car, ²and their charges were stayed.³ That 17.5 pounds of fentanyl is just under four million doses. Effectively, 17.5 pounds of fentanyl could kill close to four million people. That is enough fentanyl to kill just about all of the people in Alberta and Saskatchewan combined in one traffic stop. The individuals’ charges were stayed, they were released on bail and now they are out in the general public.⁴ Positioning · 27 wordsThis is getting ridiculous. It is getting out of hand. Let us look at the tone the government has set over the years with its soft-on-crime approach.Positioning Procedure · 6 wordsLet us look at Bill C-75.⁵Procedure Claims · 25 wordsThe “earliest reasonable opportunity and on the least onerous conditions” is the main theme of what Bill C-75 has meant for people like drug traffickers.⁶ Procedure · 14 wordsLet us take a look at a few other cases in and around Saskatchewan.Procedure Claims · 129 wordsOn April 8, another individual was found with 51 grams of fentanyl.⁷ It is not nearly as much as 17.5 pounds, but it is deadly, nonetheless. On April 16, another person was found with 282 grams of fentanyl and 556 grams of cocaine.⁸ On May 15, 227 grams of methamphetamine was found on an individual.⁹ These are deadly amounts of drugs that people have in their possession, and these people are generally released out into the public. Just yesterday, here in Ontario, an individual who was out on bail was arrested with 30 grams of cocaine and 22 grams of fentanyl, ¹⁰which has a street value of about $5,200.¹¹ This person was out on bail for a previous drug possession and trafficking charge for a street value of $125,000.¹² Positioning · 4 wordsThis is getting insane.Positioning Claims · 79 wordsThese are the kinds of things that people are seeing on the streets. Canadians are getting sick and tired of seeing people who have large amounts of fentanyl, which is a deadly drug that can kill tons of people. We have all seen the headlines.Unearned certainty People are getting so sick and tired of this. Fentanyl is getting into our high schools and many places where it should never be. We are seeing people overdosing in parks and public spaces. Positioning · 8 wordsThe drug epidemic is getting out of hand, PositioningClaims · 10 wordsand people are getting so sick and tired of it. The question · 30 wordsWhen on earth is the government going to actually do something to make sure that people trafficking 17.5 pounds of fentanyl will not be allowed back out on the streets?
