SummarySpren for "Recidivists"
- Here are the two key points from the speech in bullet form:
• The Liberal government's soft-on-crime policies have led to a surge in auto thefts across Canada, with a 34% increase since 2015, resulting in higher insurance costs for Canadians.
• The Prime Minister's inaction to address this crisis has allowed car thefts to explode in our communities, with a 300% increase in Toronto and over 100% in other cities, and the only solution proposed by the Liberal government is to host another meeting in Ottawa.
- • The Liberal government's soft-on-crime policies have allowed organized crime to thrive, resulting in a surge in car thefts and a loss of faith in the justice system among Canadians.
• The Conservative party has a plan to address the issue, including making prison time mandatory for repeat car thieves, toughening sentences for gang-related car thefts, and eliminating soft-on-crime bail policies for repeat violent offenders.
- • A Conservative government will take action to stop auto theft and strengthen laws to ensure repeat car thieves are kept behind bars.
• The current Liberal government has chosen to do nothing and has allowed auto theft to increase, with vehicles being stolen with impunity and exported to other countries.
- • The Conservative Party's motion to reverse changes made by Bill C-5 and increase penalties for auto theft is misguided, as the real solution lies in addressing the root causes of the problem, such as the ease with which stolen vehicles can be exported from the port of Montreal.
• The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) needs more resources and a clearer mandate to effectively monitor exports and prevent the export of stolen vehicles, which are often shipped in containers that are not properly inspected.
