“Crime and drug use are rising in Williams Lake, and people do not feel safe. I want the Prime Minister to admit his crime policies have failed.”

“Mr. Speaker, residents of Williams Lake are once again sounding the alarm about rising crime, street disorder, open drug use and repeat violent offenders terrorizing local businesses and families. Williams Lake city council is holding an emergency public safety meeting after RCMP reported more than 1,400 calls connected to the downtown core already this year. The Prime Minister promised Canadians safer communities, but after 11 years, people in Williams Lake feel less safe walking down the street, less safe opening their businesses and less safe raising their kids. Will the Prime Minister stand in the House today and finally admit that his soft-on-crime policies have failed?”

“Canadians are tired of crime, but the government's policies are too soft. Dangerous repeat offenders are being let go instead of kept in jail. I want the Prime Minister to admit that this approach has failed.”

“Mr. Speaker, I do not know what fantasy world my colleague is living in, but there are bad people doing bad things to good people, and Canadians are fed up with it. I spoke this week about a constituent who was run over, dragged down the street and left for dead. The perpetrators got off scot-free. Williams Lake city council is actually considering sending all the criminals to another jurisdiction because of soft-on-crime policies. This is real. When will the Prime Minister admit that his catch-and-release experiment has failed to keep repeat offenders off the streets?”

“Crime is up across Canada under the Liberals. Their bail rules let a dangerous killer out to murder again. I want the government to keep violent criminals in jail.”

“Mr. Speaker, after 11 long years of the Liberals, crime is up everywhere, not just in big cities but in small rural communities as well. Many people will recall a recent case where a Wetaskiwin man shot and murdered another man on his own doorstep. Ten months later, the same murderer was out on Liberal bail when he beat his girlfriend to death in her home in Ponoka. When is enough going to be enough? How many more families have to suffer losing loved ones before Liberals get serious and put dangerous offenders behind bars, where they belong?”
