Jennifer McKelvie Liberal
“I want the House to pass this bill with the Senate's changes. Police, local leaders, and workers have told us we need tougher bail rules and harsher sentences for violent crimes. This bill does that.”
“Mr. Speaker, the Senate heard from witnesses, and we feel its amendment is reasonable and fair and addresses some of the concerns it heard. We have heard loud and clear from municipal leaders, police chiefs, transit workers, victims advocates, business owners and communities that we need to strengthen Canada’s bail system, we need to toughen sentences for serious and violent crimes, we need to modernize the youth criminal justice system and we need to strengthen military justice. We feel that Bill C‑14 would do all of that.”
