Mr. Speaker, violent crime has risen 32% since the Liberals formed government in 2015. This is a fact across all of Canada, including in my riding where I am reading local headlines, titled “Arrested again” for “participation in a criminal organization”, “Failure to comply with a probation order”, “Eleven counts of knowledge of possession of a firearm while prohibited”, “Two counts of disobeying a court order” and “Two counts of breach of a weapons prohibition”. Why are the Liberals removing mandatory minimums on repeat offenders? When will they repeal their soft-on-crime policies?

Mr. Speaker, let us make sure talking points do not get in the way of the facts. Ten of the 12 mandatory minimums the Liberals are removing were introduced by previous Liberal governments, i.e., the senior Trudeau and Chrétien governments. What did the previous Liberal governments get so wrong? As violent crime continued to increase in the last seven years under the Liberal government, why is it so focused on helping criminals and repeat offenders instead of standing up for the victims? When will the Liberals repeal their soft-on-crime agenda?
