Justice

During Question Period on justice, the discussion focused on crime, bail, and sentencing. Conservatives raised cases including a Toronto carjacking and extortion incidents in Calgary-area communities, saying violent crime, gun crime, and extortion have risen under the government and that Liberal laws let violent repeat offenders out on bail or serve sentences at home; they asked that violent offenders be kept in custody. The government, responding for the Liberals, said it has tightened bail provisions, lengthened sentences, restored mandatory minimums, and funded police and border work, with car thefts down and extortion arrests made recently; it noted some arrested individuals are not on bail and are being deported or facing trial, and it urged quick Senate passage of its bail and sentencing bill. The Protecting Victims Act, which would amend the Criminal Code and other laws on matters including intimate partner violence, sentencing, victims’ rights, and court delay, was referenced in the exchange.Written by AI from the debate.
