Branden Leslie Conservative
“The member used to say that Liberal bail policies make our communities less safe and help criminals instead of victims. She was right, and those policies have not changed. She also used to say that members who switch parties should let their voters decide if they still want them. I want to know when she will ask her voters to elect her again.”
“Mr. Speaker, I listened closely to my colleague’s speech. She talked about unintended consequences a lot, which was a bit strange for somebody who, just months ago, told Canadians that it was the Liberals making her communities less safe and that it was their “bail not jail” policies and legislation that favoured criminals over victims. In fact, that member said that criminals are making out very well under the Liberals. She was right. These policies have not changed. The only thing that has changed is where she sits. She also said that MPs who cross the floor should go back to their constituents for a fresh mandate. If she truly believes the principles she spent years defending, including that Liberal soft-on-crime policies have made her community less safe, when is she going to go back to constituents and find out who they want to elect to represent them?”
