Madam Chair, this is not a bail bill. It is a border bill. I would be more than glad to go through the bill with the member opposite.

Madam Chair, intimate partner violence is absolutely important for the government. It is something that the Prime Minister confirmed, and it is something that we as a government will address.

Madam Chair, the government is willing to invest in order to get guns off our streets, guns that legitimately should not be in the hands of individuals. Of course, there are legitimate hunters and farmers and others who have guns. The number he cited is patently false. There is a certain number of weapons that we want to get off—

Madam Chair, I do not. Yesterday, I met with the the chief of police for Toronto, who indicated that guns are a real problem and need to be off the streets. That is one of the reasons why we—

Madam Chair, no, unless they are using semi-automatic weapons.

Madam Chair, Bill C-21 was brought in to protect the safety and security of Canadians. There are legal gun owners. There are hunters who legitimately hunt. It should not be impacting those individuals.

Madam Chair, in terms of legislation that has gone through the House, it was the will of Parliament, where those decisions have been made. Anything outside of that is not within my scope.

Madam Chair, once again, this is something that is before the courts, and I will not be commenting on it.

Madam Chair, we have a sound criminal justice system. It does require strengthening, and we look forward to doing the work in this mandate.

Madam Chair, I realize that we are playing to TikTok and other social media. Our bail system is something that we committed to strengthen, and we will do that.

Madam Chair, once again, Correctional Service Canada makes that determination. It is an independent body. It is up to Correctional Service Canada to make the decision, and this is the way it should be.
Read full speech →Government Orders
Madam Chair, I have been the minister for three weeks. Based on my understanding of my portfolio, this matter falls under the purview of Correctional Service Canada, and it is up to it to make these determinations, not the minister.

Madam Chair, this matter has been addressed. This is in the purview of Correctional Service Canada, and it is up to it to make that determination.

Madam Chair, I have addressed this issue a number of times. This is subject to the Correctional Service Canada's—

Madam Chair, Correctional Service Canada makes these determinations based on the security risk level that it assesses. It is an independent decision that is outside of the scope.

Mr. Chair, can the member repeat that question?

Mr. Chair, we will be able to provide those operational details to the member in short order.
Read full speech →Government Orders
Mr. Chair, again, I will be able to provide that information to my colleague at a later date.
Read full speech →Government Orders
Mr. Chair, for operational reasons, I probably should not be answering that question.

Mr. Chair, that was obviously taken out of context, but we will be working on bail reform. We look forward to working with the opposition on it.

Mr. Chair, we need to do better on bail. We look forward to bringing forward legislation to that effect.

Mr. Chair, I have addressed this issue a number of times. I will reiterate that we will be bringing forward reform to our bail system.
