Context: House Hansard - 82 - Jun/6/22
Mr. Dane Lloyd (Sturgeon River—Parkland, CPC)
Mr. Speaker, the minister knows full well that Bill C-21 does nothing to tackle gangs and organized crime. It is no surprise, because the Liberal government always fails to get tough on hardened criminals. Under Bill C-5, they are removing mandatory minimum sentences for violent crimes committed with firearms. In a recent access to information response, it was revealed that the Liberal government cut funding to combat gun and gang violence by more than half, failing to spend over $150 million targeted to fight crime. Why is the government reducing sentences for violent criminals and slashing funding for fighting crime?
