Adjournment Proceedings

An adjournment debate on crime and bail, centred on the government’s Bail and Sentencing Reform Act, which tightens bail rules and sentencing for repeat and violent offenders. Arpan Khanna of the Conservatives said the government is releasing dangerous repeat offenders on easy bail, citing a case involving a person with 274 prior convictions, and criticized government advertising on public safety, asking how many of the promised 1,000 new RCMP officers have been hired. Mike Kelloway of the Liberals replied that the bill targets repeat violent offenders with stricter bail and tougher sentences, and pointed to the hiring of 1,000 new RCMP officers and $1.3 billion for border security to stop illegal drugs. The debate opened with Khanna recognizing harvest-time farmers in his riding.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
