Madam Speaker, after eight years of this Prime Minister's soft-on-crime policies, the consequences are devastating. In Vancouver, the same 40 offenders were arrested 6,000 times in a single year. The Liberal government is fine with releasing criminals back into their communities. Shootings in Montreal are on the rise. The government is reducing sentences for gun crimes. This cannot happen in Canada. When will they introduce tougher measures to keep violent criminals in jail?

Madam Speaker, I invite my hon. colleague to go back and listen to the Minister of Justice's remarks to this House when asked similar questions on January 30 and 31 of this year, and into the prior year, where he essentially denied that there was a problem. We now hear that they have been talking for months. After eight years of inaction, the bail system has never been worse. Canadians feel unsafe, with a 32% increase in violent crime and gangland homicides up 92%. No more talk, Canadians want action. We are ready to start the process with bail reform on a very long journey. Will they help or get out of the way?
