“Home invasions in Toronto are up 32 percent this year, and a recent one left three people shot. The government's bail and sentencing bill fails to fix this because it still lets accused criminals out too easily and cuts mandatory minimum sentences. I want the Attorney General to admit this failure and work with Conservatives on real bail and sentencing reform.”

“Mr. Speaker, Toronto was horrified by the Bridle Path home invasion in which a father and two daughters were shot and a mother injured. This was the 119th invasion in Toronto this year. That is a 32% increase from the same period in 2025. It is clear that the Liberal government’s bail and sentencing reform is a failure. The bail principle of restraint, to let an accused out at the earliest opportunity, remains. Conservatives wanted mandatory minimum sentences for armed home invasions. Instead the Liberals gutted all mandatory minimum sentences. Will the Attorney General own his failure and work with Conservatives to pass real bail and sentencing reform?”

“Home invasions are up 50% in Toronto. We have two bills to punish home invaders more harshly and to let Canadians better defend themselves in their homes. Will the Liberals support these bills, yes or no?”

“Mr. Speaker, according to the Toronto Star, home invasions are up 50% in Toronto. Canadians want action. That is why we have two bills before the House. We have the proposed safe at home act, which would create a stand-alone offence for home invasions and carry with it a mandatory minimum of five years and a maximum of life imprisonment. We also have the proposed stand on guard law, which would strengthen provisions for self-defence so Canadians can defend themselves in their own home. I have a very simple question for the minister. On these two bills, will the Liberals stand with us and support them so that we can protect Canadians in their own home, yes or no?”

“I want the minister to give a yes-or-no answer. Will the Liberals support our two crime bills to protect Canadians from violent crimes like home invasions?”

“Mr. Speaker, I cannot understand for the life of me why the minister cannot answer the very simple question. The father of the family who just suffered the violent home invasion in Toronto said the following: “It is difficult to put into words the trauma of experiencing something so horrific in the one place where everyone should feel safest: their own home.” That is why we put these two bills before the House. This is a very simple question. Canadians deserve a very clear answer. Will the Liberals support these two pieces of legislation that we have before the House so we can protect Canadians, yes or no?”

“People should feel safe in their homes. Armed men recently broke into a Toronto home and hurt a family. Will the Prime Minister support our bill to give harsher punishments to home invaders?”

“Mr. Speaker, recently a Toronto family of four was terrorized by three masked men who entered their home with hammers and guns. Three people were shot and two people were hit with hammers. The family will never be the same. People should feel that they are safest when they are in their homes. Therefore, will the Prime Minister support our legislation to get tough on home invaders so people can feel safest in their homes?”

“The government's justice laws are not working, and violent crimes in homes are still putting people in the hospital. We must pass our Conservative bill to protect people in their homes. When will the Liberals act?”

“Mr. Speaker, the minister speaks about transformational legislation. The Liberals can tell that to the family of four who are now in the hospital. We have to ensure that people are safest when the are in their own homes. Reforms are absolutely needed. One of the answers is our safe at home act that was put forward by the member for Vaughan—Woodbridge. How many more families need to suffer in their own homes before the Liberals take the time to act?”
