Kevin Lamoureux Liberal
“The Conservatives say they are tough on crime, but they block our bills to make communities safer. They are even opposing our bill to punish partner abuse and violence against women.”
“Madam Speaker, our secretary of state has highlighted Bill C-9, but it is not that alone. We also have Bill C-16, as the secretary of state knows full well, wherein we would be reinstating mandatory minimums and leading changes to criminal laws, dealing with femicide, as an example, by dealing with the issue of coercive behaviour from a partner. The Conservatives are opposing that legislation too. It really does make one wonder why it is that they like to talk tough and raise money on the issue of crime, but when it comes time to vote and get the legislation through, they are nothing more than a barrier. They go out of their way to prevent legislation from passing. I appreciate the question because it highlights the roadblock the Conservatives continue to put up on us making our communities safer.”
