“We made our criminal laws tougher, increased sentences, and made bail harder for repeat offenders. Now the provinces need to enforce these changes.”
“Mr. Speaker, the federal government is responsible for the Criminal Code of Canada. We have made an unprecedented number of changes to stiffen our laws, to make sure criminals will serve longer sentences and so repeat offenders do not get bail, but it is the job of the provinces to apply these new changes. I hope the provinces will catch up.”
