Public Safety

In a debate on Public Safety, the Conservatives accused the Prime Minister's recent speech on anti-Semitism of being hollow and ineffective, while the Liberals defended their actions and accused the opposition of driving division. The debate focused on political point-scoring rather than substantive discussion of public safety measures or policies.

“The Prime Minister talks about stopping anti-Semitism, but look at the people he wants to put on his council. One person defended people who camped illegally, one worked for a group that liked Hamas and Hezbollah, and now they're being led by a minister who doesn't even like the Bible and paid anti-Semites from his own ministry. It's ridiculous. Jews in Canada need real solutions, not a useless council.”

“The minister talks a lot but doesn't do anything real. People are not safe. The government's plans don't work. The Prime Minister should do something himself.”
