Replying to Arpan Khanna (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, in Kelowna, a man violently chokes his wife. He is arrested. He is released on bail. Thirty minutes later, he shows up again. He assaults her again. He chokes her again. He is arrested again. Under the Liberal laws, guess what: He is released on bail again. The Liberals promised they would fix the broken bail system, but nothing has changed. Under their watch, intimate partner violence is up 40%. How many times must a woman be attacked before the Liberals put her safety first?”
