David Bexte Conservative
“Canadians need this bill to stop repeat offenders from getting bail. But the government is cutting off debate to rush it through. That is not democratic and it lacks transparency.”
“Mr. Speaker, I know the provisions of Bill C-14 have great utility for the people of Canada right now. They have suffered for a decade or more under Liberal rule and a system that allows repeat offenders out on bail to wreak havoc in communities. What I do not think is acceptable is the lack of transparency and the use of routine, normal negotiations to get this bill through the House expeditiously. I find the concept of closure anti-democratic, and the lack of transparency is absolutely against the interests of Canadians.”
