Mr. Speaker, I rise to present a petition signed by Canadians. Some of Canada's most heinous killers have seen their sentences significantly reduced after the Liberals failed to respond to a Supreme Court of Canada decision that struck down a Harper Conservative law that gave judges the discretion to apply consecutive parole ineligibility periods to mass murderers and to take into account each life lost. The petitioners are calling on the Liberal government to finally stand up for victims, invoke the notwithstanding clause and override the Bissonnette decision.
