Mr. Speaker, our criminal justice reform bill eliminates the failed policies of the Conservative Party, which claimed to be tough on crime but was ultimately just going after Black Canadians and indigenous peoples. What our communities need is a criminal justice system that punishes criminals. What we do not need is a system that targets racialized people through systemic discrimination. This legislation is another step towards a fair and effective system that will keep all Canadians safe.
