“That case is horrible, and I feel for the family. We are reviewing the law and are open to changes. But I want to remind the Conservatives that their party created this law in the first place.”

“Mr. Speaker, the case that the member refers to is a horrible case, and my sympathies go out to the family. As mentioned previously in the House, we are reviewing the act, and we are open to changes. However, I must remind all people viewing, and especially the Conservatives, that the act that currently exists to oversee these procedures was created by a Conservative government. The Corrections and Conditional Release Act is a Conservative act.”

“Our government passed six crime laws this spring on hate, bail, and safe spaces. The member voted against every one of them. We are the party fighting crime, and he should support our laws.”

“Mr. Speaker, I can tell the member that we were in power this spring when we passed six pieces of criminal justice legislation on things such as hate, bail and safe spaces. Where was the member? Every time the roll was called, he sat in his place and opposed the law-and-order agenda of the new government in Canada. We are the anti-crime party. We are the people taking the measures. The member should get up and support them.”

“We are working with victims and their families to improve the parole system. All parties need to work together on this instead of playing politics, just like we did with our recent laws on victims' rights and bail.”

“Mr. Speaker, my thoughts are with Darren, his family and his community. I will just assure my colleague opposite that we are working with victims, survivor groups and those representing families in order to strengthen our parole process. This is an issue, as I have indicated in the past, that requires collaboration among all the parties. This is not to be politicized. It is important that we work together toward strengthening victims’ rights. That is exactly what we did with Bill C-16 that passed this spring. It is the same thing we did with Bill C-14 on sentencing and bail reform.”

“We are open to changes and are reviewing this law right now. It was made by the Conservatives, and we are working to improve it. For the last 18 months, we have been updating the criminal law to keep criminals in jail.”

“Mr. Speaker, as mentioned before, we are open to reforms and are currently undergoing a review process. However, I must remind everyone that this is a Conservative act that we are undertaking a process to improve. Our government, for the last 18 months, has been reforming the Criminal Code of Canada to modernize it and to make sure that criminals stay behind bars.”
