Adjournment Proceedings

An adjournment debate on fentanyl trafficking and the justice system, raised by the member for Swift Current—Grasslands—Kindersley after charges were stayed against two people arrested with a large quantity of fentanyl. The Conservative member said the government’s laws let major drug traffickers out on bail or free, and raised judge shortages, unfulfilled promises to hire more police, and insufficient border screening of shipping containers. The Liberal parliamentary secretary said the government has passed laws to make bail harder for violent and organized criminals, increase sentences, and give police better tools, and pointed to commitments to hire 1,000 more RCMP officers and 1,000 more CBSA officers along with improved border scanning.Written by AI from the debate.
