“Mr. Speaker, my priority is the residents of Winnipeg North. I know, in the last election, a commitment was made to deal with the issue of crime. The Prime Minister made it a part of our election platform. This is something we have taken very seriously. We have brought forward a number of pieces of legislation to protect our communities and make them safer. I am tired of the Conservatives filibustering on all these crime initiatives. Bill C‑14 deals with bail reform and has wide support from many different stakeholders, virtually all stakeholders. I understand even the Conservatives might support it. How important is it for us to be able to get our crime agenda through? After all, it was in the election platform.”

Mr. Speaker, Procedure · 10 wordslet us just draw into focus what is at stake.ProcedureClaims · 134 wordsWe asked law enforcement leaders, community leaders and elected officials what the priorities are in their communities when it comes to public safety.They said, “We want you to do more when it comes to auto theft.We want you to do more when it comes to home invasions.We want you to do more when it comes to violent extortion and when it comes to sexual assaults.We want you to address specifically the challenges in the bail system and the challenges when it comes to sentencing for these horrific crimes.”We have listened to that feedback.This process has been a model of collaboration with provincial governments, with police leaders and with advocates for public safety.We have an opportunity to directly implement the solutions that we know communities are calling for.Unearned certaintyReasoning · 73 wordsThe only question we have, as a House, is whether we want to take advantage of the opportunity to do that now, or whether we can kick the can down the road for several months.In my view, when we have an opportunity to make a difference that is going to serve the interests of Canadians, reduce crime in this country and promote public safety, we should take it at the first opportunity.
