Sean Fraser

Liberal on Bail and Sentencing Reform Act 2026-06-12

167 words · 6 sentences · 8 clauses

Replying to Marc Dalton (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, crime has gone out of control under the Liberals with violent crime, extortion and those out on bail. They make it seem as if they are the bearers of truth and justice and getting things done when they are the reason we are in the situation we are now. They are closing down debate. We have a role to play. I am sure the Liberals would prefer there not be an opposition. We have a responsibility to bring forward amendments as the opposition on behalf of Canadians, because almost all the time the Liberals get it wrong.”

This view breaks the statement into its steps and names what each one does.

Mr. Speaker, Claims · 28 wordsthere was not a question that I could observe in the member’s statement, but he did cite that he has an obligation as a member of the opposition. The ask · 25 wordsI would ask him to talk to his colleagues on the justice committee, who, in my view, have failed to live up to that obligation. Claims · 100 wordsHe says they should raise issues to improve the strength of the bill when they spent months filibustering, again talking about their preference for puppies or kittens, knowing they were going to delay the implementation of these measures.¹² We have an opportunity to move forward with the measures the Conservative Party says it supports, but yet delays the implementation of them. We should get beyond the political back-and-forth and realize where we have widespread consensus, supported by law enforcement, provincial governments, cities and parliamentarians in the House and in the Senate from a wide range of regions and political affiliations.³ The ask · 14 wordsI suggest we should take the opportunity before us to implement these measures today.
