Justice
During question period on justice, Conservative members asked why non-citizens who commit violent crimes — including armed robberies, a strangulation conviction, and two men accused in a Stoney Creek murder — remain in Canada despite removal efforts, and what the government is doing to deport them. Liberal ministers replied that the government has brought forward major criminal law changes, including stricter bail rules and tougher penalties for repeat violent offenders, that serious offenders can face removal, and that no rule requires judges to adjust sentences based on immigration status, which the Supreme Court addressed in 2013. Liberals also said Conservatives have been delaying passage of the protecting victims act, while Conservatives pointed to victims still in shelters and removals held up at the border.Written by AI from the debate.
