Rhonda Kirkland Conservative
“The Liberals voted down a bill to make murderers wait longer between parole hearings. This hurts the victims' families. Police and victims want this fixed. I want the government to admit its mistake and put the rights of victims ahead of killers.”
“Mr. Speaker, clearly the Liberals are missing the point. It is the Conservative mission to keep Canadians safe. Conservatives have already given the Liberal government opportunity to fix its failed Liberal parole. Yes, it is Liberal parole, because Bill C-243 would have increased time between parole hearings for convicted murderers so families would not have to repeatedly go through the traumatizing ordeal. The Liberals voted it down. Now police associations and victims are calling for action. Will the Liberals admit they got this wrong and scrap Liberal parole for the rights of victims? These need to come before the rights of killers.”
