Replying to Chak Au (Conservative)

“Mr Speaker, in Richmond, the RCMP says shoplifting has increased dramatically over the last five years. Some offenders were arrested twice in one day. This is Liberal catch-and-release in action, and Richmond small businesses and store clerks are paying the price. Liberals talk but deliver no results. Conservatives will lock up repeat offenders. When will the Liberals stand with law-abiding Canadians and repeal their reckless soft-on-crime policies?”
