Todd Doherty Conservative
“Canadians are tired of crime, but the government's policies are too soft. Dangerous repeat offenders are being let go instead of kept in jail. I want the Prime Minister to admit that this approach has failed.”
“Mr. Speaker, I do not know what fantasy world my colleague is living in, but there are bad people doing bad things to good people, and Canadians are fed up with it. I spoke this week about a constituent who was run over, dragged down the street and left for dead. The perpetrators got off scot-free. Williams Lake city council is actually considering sending all the criminals to another jurisdiction because of soft-on-crime policies. This is real. When will the Prime Minister admit that his catch-and-release experiment has failed to keep repeat offenders off the streets?”
