Public Safety
A bill to expand police and intelligence agency powers to access data and information during investigations, including subscriber info from telecoms. In discussion, Conservatives asked about foreign government-funded attacks in Canada and accused the government of inaction. Liberals expressed condolences for a fallen officer, condemned violence and intimidation, and touted another bill they say will help public safety.
“I want to cheer for a slain police officer. News stories are saying that the shooters were paid hitmen. Maybe they were paid by foreigners. I believe the news stories.”
“I'm blaming the government for these crimes. I think the government let in too many bad people. I'm upset that the judges ignored my side's harsh punishments. I want the government to put more people in jail longer.”
“I want to look strong on crime for Canadians.”
“I want you to know that I helped pass a bill the police wanted. My opponents tried to stop it. The bill is good because it gives more power to law enforcement.”
