Public Safety
A bill to make it easier for police and intelligence agencies to access data and information during investigations. The Conservatives argued the government's immigration policies are allowing criminals into the country, while the Liberals insisted their new bill would help law enforcement investigate and charge these criminals. Both sides congratulated police forces for their recent arrests.
“You want to know what victims ask me? They ask how long investigations take. I want Bill C-22 to pass so law enforcement has more tools. But you Conservatives are delaying the bill and siding with social media giants instead of Canadians' public safety.”
“I want the government to have more power. That will let us investigate crimes. We need this law I like. It would be a problem if other countries can do things we can't. Conservatives should support my bill.”
