Kevin Lamoureux Liberal
“Conservatives transferred more prisoners from maximum to medium security when they were in power than anyone else. They change what they say now that they are in opposition. Also, our Prime Minister and many of our MPs were elected just over a year ago, so the member cannot blame us for the past.”
“Mr. Speaker, I have two quick points. First, the member might not necessarily be aware of this, but let me tell him about it. The highest number of prisoner transfers from maximum security to medium security happened when his leader, today’s leader of the Conservative Party, was in government. That is the reality. Now they are in opposition, and they have other ideas. It is truly amazing. They say one thing in opposition and another when they are in government. Second, I can assure the member that this Prime Minister was elected only just over a year ago. The member might want to bring up the previous years, but he cannot accuse this Prime Minister and this government, which was elected just over a year ago, when we have over 70 new Liberal MPs.”
