44th Parl. 1st Sess.

Context: House Hansard - 175 - Mar/29/23
Hon. Pierre Poilievre (Leader of the Opposition, CPC)

Mr. Speaker, yesterday, the Prime Minister fled the House of Commons instead of answering questions about public safety. The current crime wave is the direct result of Liberal-NDP policies that put the criminals who are usually considered the most dangerous back on the streets. Half a dozen people have been murdered in the past week, including a police officer in Quebec. Will the Prime Minister reverse the policies that set the most dangerous offenders loose? Will he protect the safety of Canadians?

Hon. David Lametti (Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada, Lib.)
Mr. Speaker, what the hon. member is saying is entirely false. Serious crimes deserve serious consequences. Bill C‑5 allows for such sentences only in cases where there is no threat to public safety. We are working with the provinces and territories to address the problems in the system. We will improve the system by working together. Sloganeering does not help. It is by working together that we will find the solution.
