Rhonda Kirkland Conservative
“I believe in strong punishments to stop people from committing crimes before they happen. That is why I support mandatory minimum penalties for gun crimes and sex crimes, which the Liberals removed. People who commit terrible crimes should face harsh penalties so we can protect our kids.”
“Mr. Speaker, I am a Conservative, so I believe in things such as preventative measures to make criminals think before they commit a crime, which is why I believe in things such as the mandatory minimum penalties for gun crimes and for some sex crimes, which the Liberals took away. In juxtaposition with this, yes, if someone has committed a horrific crime, the penalty should be great in order to prevent these things from happening to our kids in the first place.”
