Mr. Speaker, after eight years of a soft-on-crime Liberal government, Canada's justice system is badly broken. A young police officer was shot and killed by someone with a lifetime firearms ban and a serious criminal history, yet they were out on bail. The Liberals' broken bail system is putting Canadian lives at risk, yet the justice minister refuses to answer the call of all 13 premiers, and police associations across the country, to reform the bail system. Will the Prime Minister take the opportunity today to do what his justice minister has refused to do and commit to reforming the Liberals' broken bail system?

Mr. Speaker, the increase in violence in so many of our communities is heartbreaking to see and continues to be a priority for us to respond to. We will always look at what more we can do alongside the provinces, territories and municipalities. The Minister of Justice and Attorney General met with his counterparts and discussed this issue just this past fall, and experts at the federal and provincial levels have been working together on bail reform since. The minister has asked these experts to do whatever they can to speed up this work to make sure we are doing everything we can to keep Canadians safe.

Mr. Speaker, one of the strengths of our justice system is that there is a possibility for appeals and for opinions to be scrutinized and reversed. We trust our justice system in this case and in all cases. We are going to continue to ensure that we are keeping people safe across this country. We continue to make investments. Where Conservatives cut investments in policing and in our justice system, we are going to continue to invest in solutions that are going to keep people safe.

Mr. Speaker, for eight years we have heard the Prime Minister falsely proclaim that he is a feminist. After eight years, violent crime against women has never been higher. A Crown prosecutor in Quebec had the courage to speak out after a rapist received a 20-month sentence that he could serve at home, in the community, because Bill C‑5 had been passed in the House by the Liberals with the help of the NDP and the Bloc. This prosecutor said that the Prime Minister and the Minister of Justice “will have to answer to the victims of sexual assault”. Can the Prime Minister look victims in the eye and tell them that he is satisfied with the sentence that was handed down?

Mr. Speaker, we have an independent justice system in this country, which provides for appeals and legal recourse when people disagree with an outcome. It is not up to politicians to say what they think, it is up to them to create the conditions for public safety. That is exactly what we are doing and will continue to do with laws that will keep people safe and protect public health and public security.
