“I want the government to support my bill. It protects people who use force to defend their families against home invaders. The government has not responded to it.”

“Mr. Speaker, one month ago I introduced the stand on guard act, and yet today we still have no response from the Liberal government. Not a yes, not a no, just silence. Is silence really the best response that the Liberals can muster for victims of home invasions? Our Conservative bill is simple. If someone knowingly and unlawfully enters a person’s home, the force used to defend their family should be deemed to be reasonable. A person’s home is their safe place. It is where their children sleep, and it deserves special protection under our laws. After a decade of catch-and-release Liberal bail, Canadians are telling us that sense of safety is gone. They are asking for something simple: for the law to stand with them. They have received silence, and silence in this moment is not neutral but an answer in itself. Conservatives will never stop fighting for the right for Canadians to feel safe to defend themselves and their families.”
