Liberal on Public Safety 2026-09-22

84 words · 6 sentences · 7 clauses

Replying to Arpan Khanna (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, Lisa, a victim from Oxford, told me that she feels like she is the one on house arrest while the criminal, the attacker, is walking free on the street. Thanks to Liberal catch-and-release laws, it is jail by day and bail by night. The same repeat offenders keep terrorizing our communities over and over again. It is victims like Lisa who are suffering. It is victims like her who are paying the price for failed Liberal policies. Will the Liberals finally stand up for victims and protect Canadians?”
