Mr. Speaker, something has gone terribly wrong in this country. The violence is out of control. People, including children, are being stabbed on our streets, and police officers, including from my community in Spruce Grove, have been murdered in the line of duty. Now we know who is committing these acts of violence. Many of them are repeat offenders who have been let loose on our streets by a Liberal justice system that cares more about appeasing woke activists than it does about keeping Canadians safe. It does not have to be this way. After eight years under the Liberal government, violent crime has skyrocketed in this country. That is an indisputable fact, and instead of facing that fact with decisive action to bring down the violence, the government evades responsibility for its failed policies. It is time to end the radical Liberal experiments, and put the safety of innocent Canadians, and not the freedom of criminals, first.

Mr. Speaker, it is clear that my hon. colleague did not hear the response from yesterday. I will repeat it. We have worked with the provinces and territories to make changes to the bail system in order to address the issue of serious repeat offenders and to give the community a role in bail decisions. Together we will address this issue and find solutions.

Mr. Speaker, still the Prime Minister does not have the guts to stand up and answer the question. Of course not. He is protected by armed men every single day, so he is not worried about the streets that are turning into savage chaos since he brought about catch-and-release bail. We do not need to work with the provinces to change the bail laws. They are exclusively federal jurisdiction, right in the Criminal Code. The Prime Minister has unleashed a 32% increase in violent crime since he brought in the catch-and-release bail policies. Will he finally summon the courage to stand on his feet, admit he was wrong, reverse the policies and choose jail, not bail, for violent offenders?

Mr. Speaker, the Liberal minister can make up whatever stories he wants, but the proof of the priority, or lack of priority, on fighting violent crime is in black and white in the Liberals' budget. There was not one mention of fighting violent crime in the budget yesterday. It is not a priority for the Liberals. The reality is if Canadians want repeat violent offenders out of our communities, the Liberal government is the very last government that is going to do it. Its eight-year record of catch-and-release policies proves that. Is that not right? It is never going to fix this and it is only going to make it worse. Is that not right?
