“I want all members to vote for this bill. It brings back 12 mandatory minimum sentences legally. It protects children and victims of crime, including intimate partner violence.”
“Mr. Speaker, I would absolutely share the position of the Secretary of State for Combatting Crime that this is urgently needed legislation. It would immediately restore 12 mandatory minimum penalties in a way that is constitutional. It would protect children. It would protect victims of crime. I hope that all members will support the legislation, just as members on this side of the House have supported a number of private member’s bills, because we can all care about intimate partner violence.”
