“This bill should include mandatory minimum prison sentences for these offenders. My party proposed changes to make the bill stronger, but the government weakened it instead.”
“Madam Speaker, that was not the point. The point is that we should actually impose a mandatory sentencing for these offenders. That is it. That is the starting point. We could have made the legislation so much stronger if we had actually taken more of the amendments that were proposed by my colleagues. Instead, we have watered it down.”
