Mr. Speaker, after nine years of the NDP-Liberals, taxes are up, costs are up, crime is up, time is up. Due to the Liberal government's elimination of mandatory prison time for countless violent offences, criminals are given free rein to terrorize our communities. The results of the Liberal government's soft-on-crime policies are clear: Canadians do not even feel safe walking down their streets or taking transit. A new study by the Macdonald-Laurier Institute shows that sexual assaults and robberies, such as muggings and carjackings, are up in practically every major city in Canada. Between 2016 and 2023, the sexual rate has almost doubled in York Region and sexual assaults are up by more than 30% in the neighbouring Peel Region. The Conservatives will ensure that repeat violent offenders remain behind bars while awaiting trial, and we will bring back mandatory jail time for serious violent crimes that were repealed by the Liberal government. A Conservative government will bring home safe streets.
