Guillaume Deschênes-Thériault Liberal
“Conservatives claim to be tough on crime, but they vote against protecting victims and fighting hate crimes. Now they are delaying this bill, which gives police better tools to fight crime. I want the member to explain why his party opposes keeping our communities safe.”
“Madam Speaker, the Conservative Party used to call itself the party of law and order. Unfortunately, today, the Conservatives no longer have any credibility on this issue. When the time comes to better protect victims, what do the Conservatives do? They vote against it. When the time comes to combat hate crimes in our communities, they vote against it. That is not to mention all the disinformation they have been spreading on the matter. When the time comes to debate Bill C‑22 to give the authorities the tools they need to fight crime, what do they do? They filibuster. I would like to hear the thoughts of my colleague opposite. What does he think about the fact that his party no longer has any credibility when it comes to keeping our communities safe and getting tough on crime?”
