Replying to Michael Guglielmin (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, a violent home invasion does not end when the intruders leave. Families are left lying awake fearing every noise and wondering whether it will happen again. Today, I introduced a bill to keep Canadians safe in their homes. This bill would create a distinct home invasion offence, establish a five-year mandatory minimum sentence and carry with it a maximum sentence of life imprisonment. Canadians deserve to feel safe behind their own front doors. Will the minister and the Liberal government support my bill and help ensure Canadians can feel safe in the comfort of their own homes?”
