Public Safety

During question period on public safety, Conservatives raised two issues: security gaps at Pearson airport, where a worker said serious threats could pass screening, and a case in Prince George where a senior was run over and left for dead and the accused were released and had charges dropped. Conservative members asked the government to run security audits at all major airports and to give more attention to victims of violent crime. Liberal ministers replied that the RCMP investigated the airport matter and arrested six people, that the government has invested $1.3 billion in border security including airports and is adding 1,000 RCMP officers, and that the government’s bail and sentencing reform bill would keep serious offenders in jail, urging opposition members to support it. Conservatives pressed whether the government would commit to audits and asked the Prime Minister to speak with the victim directly.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
