Mr. Speaker, we introduced Bill C‑5 precisely to address the overrepresentation of Black and indigenous people in the justice system. Minimum sentences and conditional sentences are imposed by judges when public order and public safety are not at risk and incarceration is not the answer. We will therefore move forward with public safety reforms to improve our criminal justice system.

Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister likes to make fine speeches about the safety of Canadians, but he clearly has a rather lax attitude about it. For example, as a result of the changes he made to the parole board, a violent criminal was released, which led to the murder of Marylène Levesque. Federal inmates now have access to syringes, and drug trafficking in penitentiaries is on the rise. Bill C‑5 will allow dangerous criminals to to serve their sentence at home instead of in a penitentiary. The Prime Minister rolled out the red carpet to criminals. What has he done lately for victims?
