Mr. Speaker, I would like my colleague to tell that to Laval's chief of police, who stated, “The people who are willing to commit such offences are hardened criminals. It is fine to be an idealist, but they will not stop when they get out of jail.” Here is what one person had to say. “We can no longer go out. My wife is very nervous and she is afraid.” Another stated, “My daughter was lucky, but in broad daylight with children.... There could be a stray bullet the next time”. Here is another fact. With Bill C-5, the Liberals want to leave these criminals on the streets with the support of the Liberal MPs from the Montreal area. Why is the Prime Minister defending criminals and not victims?

Mr. Speaker, it is Victims and Survivors of Crime Week, but the Liberals refuse to do even the bare minimum to support them. The government has abandoned its responsibility to victims of crime, but it remains a champion to its friends, the criminals. The Liberals' Bill C-5 would mean lighter sentences for violent gun crimes and that offenders charged with human trafficking and sexual assault would be able to serve their time from the comfort of their own homes. Why will the Liberals not provide the same sense of security to victims and survivors of crime?
