Mr. Speaker, the laws on bail are clear? I think the minister meant to say that the laws on bail clearly are not working. While the minister was in the classroom, I was in the courtroom running bail hearings. I have looked victims in the eye who were victimized by people who were on bail. The reality is that violent crime is up 32%. Thugs and gangsters with guns are running wild on our streets. When will the minister, after eight years of Liberal inaction, end catch-and-release?

Mr. Speaker, I do not know that I can imagine a comment more out of touch than that which the Liberal minister just said. I will remind the minister that, like him, I also taught at a law school. Unlike him, I do not have to go back to school to see people on the streets who are victimized, to see the statistics of gangland homicides and to see police officers on our streets being killed by people who are on bail. Will the minister stay out of touch or will he end the catch-and-release to keep victims safe after eight years of failed Liberal policies?
