“People in my riding want us to fix the justice system quickly. Can the Minister of Justice explain what reforms we are making to help our justice system work better?”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, constituents in my riding of Hamilton Centre elected this government to act quickly to strengthen Canada’s justice system, which is why we brought forward several pieces of criminal justice legislation in the first four months of this newly elected government. Can the Minister of Justice tell the House what reforms the government is introducing to help the justice system work efficiently in our communities?

“My colleague helped pass laws to fix the bail system and give harsher punishments to violent repeat offenders. He also backed laws to fight hate crimes and abuse by partners. Our party works with the police to keep Canadians safe.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my hon. colleague not only for his hard work, but also for his relentless pursuit of a stronger Canada and a safer Hamilton. As a result of his advocacy, this House has adopted laws to completely renovate the bail system and to lead to stiffer sentences for violent repeat offenders. He has also lent his support to new laws to combat hate crimes and to attack the scourge of intimate partner violence in this country. We are the party that is going to work with law enforcement to advance a law and order agenda, and most importantly, to keep Canadians safe.
