Madam Speaker, I agree with my colleague completely. The problem with Bill C-75 is that it favoured the criminal and did not find the right balance between the rights of the accused and public safety. Also, there is the perception that the public has in the fairness of our criminal justice system, which is the problem. In Vancouver, and this stat has been mentioned a number of times, 40 people were responsible for 6,000 negative interactions with the police. This is just a revolving door. This is insanity. This needs to be fixed. Bill C-75 caused that problem. Bill C-48 is a step in the right direction, but it would not solve the underlying problems.
