“Our government has already made major reforms to the justice system. We made sentences stronger, changed the bail rules, and protected victims' rights. We are also fighting hate, funding police, and keeping Canadians safe.”

“Mr. Speaker, since Canada’s new government came into place last year, it has put in an unprecedented level of criminal justice reform across the system. It starts with ensuring we have stronger sentencing as well as bail reform with Bill C-14. We are protecting the rights of victims with Bill C-16. We are also ensuring that those who are combatting hate are supported with the tools they need. We will continue to invest in law enforcement and ensure the safety and security of all Canadians.”

“Our government has passed three laws to fight crime, even when Conservatives tried to block them. Crime is down across Canada because police work hard, and we will keep working with them to keep people safe.”

“Mr. Speaker, our government has taken action. Since taking office, we have passed three very important laws to fight crime. We have passed laws despite Conservative obstruction. In fact, the latest statistics show that crime is down across Canada, which is a testament to the efforts of law enforcement officers from coast to coast to coast who work hard every day to keep our communities safe. We will continue to work with police services to keep Canadians across the country safe.”

“Our government has not ignored crime. We have introduced major laws to fix bail and sentencing, protect victims, and keep Canadians safe.”

“Mr. Speaker, I recognize that it is hard to oppose the comprehensive set of criminal justice reforms our government has brought forward and then pretend we need to make more laws. What the member opposite is suggesting is that we have done nothing on this. We have moved forward with the most comprehensive set of legislation, including the reform of bail and sentencing, ensuring the rights of victims are protected and protecting our vulnerable communities. We will continue to ensure the safety and security of all Canadians.”

“Our government is making laws to improve public safety. It is unfair for the Conservatives to criticize us when they vote against every measure we propose.”

“Mr. Speaker, I would like to welcome everyone back to the House after the summer. I want to reply to the hon. member from Newfoundland and Labrador. We are moving forward with legislation across the entire sector, but it is very difficult to stand and push back when the Conservatives vote against every single measure the government brings forward. I am sorry, but there is a level of hypocrisy here that is very difficult to listen to.”

“We made our criminal laws tougher over the last year. Crime is going down across the country, and we just had the biggest drop in homicides since 1986. Our laws are working.”

We made over 80 different changes with the Bail and Sentencing Reform Act and over 90 different changes with the Protecting Victims Act. We are seeing results across the country. Crime stats are coming down, and there has been the biggest drop in homicides since 1986. We are result-focused, and we are seeing the results.”
