…ong the most reprehensible in our society. That is why we have introduced sweeping reforms, through Bill C-14, that would make bail stricter and sentences tougher and would make child sexual offenders serve time behind bars. However, let us not forget Bill C-63. A Liberal government introduced that bill to p…

Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for giving such a touching speech on Bill C-14 and the loopholes within it. There is still the principle of restraint and house arrest for traffickers and people involved in firearms crimes and serious crimes. How does that resonate with him? How…

Madam Speaker, let us talk about public safety. There are ways of making that work. Bill C-14 covers six major points that the Bloc Québécois thinks are very worthwhile. The Conservatives see everything as black or white. Quite honestly, we need to take the time to properly evaluate the weigh…

…of them and their families. I find that shameful. The government could have gone a lot further with Bill C-14. Unfortunately, it did not. As a result, we are going to continue to see crime skyrocket in this country and more people become victims. That is sad.

…hould be making up ridiculous theories for partisan purposes. My question for my colleague is this. Bill C-14 does not go nearly as far as the Conservatives would like.
