Mr. Speaker, the Liberals have made life easier for criminals in this country. After seven years of their soft-on-crime approach, violent crime has increased 32%, gang homicide is up 92%, and the overall incidents of violent crime in 2021 were up 124,000 compared to 2015. For a government that claims to make evidence-based decisions, it appears to be wilfully blind to the evidence. Will the government stop its soft-on-crime policies?

Mr. Speaker, the government's misguided approach continues with Bill C-5. Bill C-5 reduces the mandatory minimum sentences for numerous violent crimes, including crimes with firearms. Bill C-75 made it easier for criminals to get out on bail. Now, rather than going after the illegal guns used by criminals and street gangs, the Liberals are targeting law-abiding hunters, farmers and sport shooters with Bill C-21. When will the government stop its soft-on-crime approach and get serious about public safety?

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?
