“Canada has had deals with China to fight crime since 2010, but these deals have never been made public. We listen to our police and security agencies before releasing sensitive documents. We will keep working with other countries to stop international crime and keep Canadians safe.”

“Mr. Speaker, let us be clear: Canada has had an MOU with China on combatting crime in various forms since 2010. These have never been made public. As with the potential release of any sensitive national security document, we are carefully following the advice of our intelligence and law enforcement agencies. We will continue to work collaboratively with international and law enforcement partners to combat transnational criminal networks to keep Canadians safe. Canada will always be guided by three principles, including the rule of law, protection of Canadians and the defence of—”

“Canada has had private safety agreements with China since 2010, including when the opposition was in power. We will keep working with police and other countries to keep Canadians safe, protect our democracy, and follow the law.”

“Mr. Speaker, let me reiterate that we have had some form of an agreement on safety and security since 2010 with China. They have never been made public, including under the opposition who were in government at that time. We will continue to work in collaboration with law enforcement and with our international partners to ensure the safety and security of Canadians. We are a country of the rule of law and we will be guided to protect Canadians and to defend Canada’s democracy and sovereignty.”

“Mr. Speaker, we have been working aggressively to put forward many pieces of legislation, a record number, over eight pieces of legislation, in the House that address these issues and that address public safety, to make more changes to the Criminal Code of Canada than any other government has made. We are strengthening bail laws and we are making sentences longer, but the provinces also have to do their part. What we have heard is that many Crown attorneys dismiss charges, even to the point where we have seen prisoners accidentally released. The provinces, too, have to resource their courtrooms.”

“We are making punishments tougher and helping police catch criminals, including retail thieves. We are also working to make bail rules stricter, but the Conservatives are blocking our bill that gives police the tools they need.”

“Mr. Speaker, we are strengthening penalties and we are giving law enforcement the tools they need to catch criminals. Just last week, Peel Regional Police arrested over 65 individuals connected to organized retail crime. These are criminals who were going out and looting our small businesses. We are working to make sure that bail laws are strengthened. Do members know who has been getting in the way? The Conservatives have.
