  • Re: Bill C-48 
Madam Speaker, public safety is an issue that is important to each and every member of the House and one which I have heard about from my constituents. This is why I am proud that our government is implementing reforms to the bail system that would help keep repeat offenders off of the street. Bill C-48, which passed the House last week and is moving swiftly through the Senate, creates a reverse onus for repeat offenders and those accused of crimes with a firearm and a knife. It examines the onus on those accused of intimate partner violence and requires the courts to consider whether an accused person has a history of convictions involving violence when making a bail order. This bill was crafted responsibly, with input from all relevant stakeholders, and has the supports of provincial and territorial leaders. It sends a strong message that judges ought to seriously consider the public safety risks posed by repeat offenders at the bail stage. This bill is just one of a suite of measures that our government has introduced to protect the public from violent offenders and to ensure the people of the Sault and all across this country are safe on the streets.

Madam Speaker, the health and safety of Canadians, reconciliation, and protecting the environment are our top priorities when it comes to nuclear energy. The project proposal is currently being reviewed by the commission, and a hearing just wrapped up. All radioactive waste in Canada is managed safely in accordance with international standards at licensed facilities overseen by our world-class regulatory agency, the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission.

Madam Speaker, let me clarify the facts for the member opposite. What happened at the public safety committee was that all members of the committee came together to move forward to do a study on putting forward the rights of victims of crime and to look into how reclassifications and transfers are handled. Do members know what happened? The Conservatives voted against it. They talk tough in front of the cameras, but when it comes time to act, they do nothing.
