Madam Speaker, we all know the facts. Violent crime is up 32%. Gang-related killings are up 92%. Worst of all, 10 police officers have been killed in the line of duty in recent months. It is clear that the Liberals' soft-on-crime agenda has failed again. The only thing the divisive Liberal government has united Canadians on is how bad the bail system is after it broke it. Why is it that, every time the Liberals are in charge, hard-working citizens and law-abiding gun owners are punished, while dangerous repeat offenders get to ride the merry-go-round of the revolving door of justice?

Madam Speaker, since the Prime Minister took office, violent crime has increased by 32%. As an aside, I would just like to remind the House that the Conservative government lowered the crime rate by 23%. This situation is a direct result of this Liberal government's soft-on-crime policies. It is incredibly easy for criminals to get out on bail. Will the Prime Minister finally get the message and make changes to stop the revolving door in our prison system? One would think these offenders were staying at a hotel.

Madam Speaker, Canadians deserve to feel safe and to be safe. That is why we introduced Bill C-48, a targeted reform to update our bail laws, designed to focus on violent, repeat offenders, gun and knife violence, as well as intimate partner violence. If I may, I will repeat what I said earlier. This is from the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police. The officials said the following about Bill C-48: We appreciate the fact that the minister worked with the party to introduce this common-sense bill that responds to concerns—

Madam Speaker, Corrections Canada tells us that offenders who find jobs in the community are three times less likely to reoffend. This is true, but it is also irrelevant because there is zero statistical correlation between participation in CSC's job-creating programs and getting post-incarceration work. Here is why: Instead of recognized third party vocational certifications, CSC issues informal statements of achievement that have all the authority of the ribbons issued at a children's bicycle-decorating contest. Will the government fix this problem?
