“I want this bill to pass. Murderers get parole hearings too often, and it forces victims' families to relive their pain again and again. The government needs to change this.”

“Mr. Speaker, Toronto police constable Todd Baylis was just 25 years old when he was murdered in the line of duty. His family has relived that tragic loss at parole hearings in 2019, 2021 and 2024, and will again in just a few months. For 14 years, victims’ advocate Lisa Freeman from Oshawa has repeatedly been forced to face the axe murderer who bludgeoned her father to death. Liberal parole has caused this problem, and victims’ families are demanding change. Why do the Liberals keep making victims constantly relive their worst day? People get a chance at parole every time.”

“The Liberals voted down a bill to make murderers wait longer between parole hearings. This hurts the victims' families. Police and victims want this fixed. I want the government to admit its mistake and put the rights of victims ahead of killers.”

“Mr. Speaker, clearly the Liberals are missing the point. It is the Conservative mission to keep Canadians safe. Conservatives have already given the Liberal government opportunity to fix its failed Liberal parole. Yes, it is Liberal parole, because Bill C-243 would have increased time between parole hearings for convicted murderers so families would not have to repeatedly go through the traumatizing ordeal. The Liberals voted it down. Now police associations and victims are calling for action. Will the Liberals admit they got this wrong and scrap Liberal parole for the rights of victims? These need to come before the rights of killers.”

“I want this bill to pass. Convicted serial killers should not get parole hearings every couple of years. Repeated hearings force victims' families to relive their pain.”

“Mr. Speaker, heinous serial killers should not get to plead their case and have a chance at parole every couple of years. This is precisely why Conservatives brought forward the Conservative bill Brian’s bill: to respect victims’ families. Paul Bernardo is a convicted serial rapist and killer, yet he will get his fourth chance at parole, while the victims’ families suffer. Trial lawyer Tim Danson said, “It’s just pure entertainment for him. He has no remorse.” Why do the Liberals keep making the families of victims relive the worst days of their lives?”

“The Liberals voted down a bill that would make convicted murderers wait longer between parole hearings. That decision forces victims' families to go through hearings every couple of years.”

“Mr. Speaker, the Liberals are allowing families to be retraumatized. The Conservatives gave you guys an opportunity to fix this. Bill C-243 would have increased the time between parole hearings for convicted murderers so families would not have to go through this ordeal every couple of years. You voted it down. The Liberals voted it down.”

“The Toronto Police Association wants the government to stop making families face their loved ones' killers again and again. The Liberals need to admit they were wrong and change the law to put victims' rights ahead of murderers' rights.”

“Mr. Speaker, the Toronto Police Association is demanding that the government, the Liberals, stop forcing families to repeatedly face the killers of their loved ones. Will the Liberals admit they were wrong and change the law so victims’ rights come before the rights of convicted murderers?”

“Murderers should not get parole hearings every two years. These hearings hurt the victims' families over and over again. I want the minister to change our parole laws to protect these families.”

“Mr. Speaker, serial rapist and killer Paul Bernardo will have a fourth chance at parole this January. The lawyer for the families of Leslie Mahaffy and Kristen French said, “It’s just pure entertainment for [Bernardo].” Sadistic murderers should not have a parole hearing every two years. They traumatize their victims’ families again and again. Conservatives put forward a bill to end this practice, but the Liberals voted it down. I would like a clear answer from the public safety minister. Will the Liberals finally protect these families by scrapping Liberal parole?”
