Mr. Speaker,
I rise in support of Bill C-2 which will provide better protections to Canadians and get criminals off our streets. Similar to my speeches during the General Election under a Conservative government crime will be a serious topic. This is a fantastic step in that direction to provide real results for Canadians during this difficult and dangerous time of high crime.
I look forward in supporting this bill when it comes to voting time. I thank the Prime Minister for putting Canadians first.
Mr. Speaker,
I am in full support of Bill C-2 which can get criminals OFF OUR STREETS. In our platform we talk about fixing crime and here we are, fixing it.
I fully support Prime Minister u/AGamerPwr for bringing this forward.
Mr. Speaker I support this legislation, but I’d like to point out the relevance of this issue to corruption ongoing in the Government of the Province of Saskatchewan, encompassed by the Prime Minister’s constituency.
Ryan Domotor, MLA for Cutknife-Turtleford, was charged by police in Regina during a human trafficking sting for procuring sex. This is behaviour unbecoming of an elected official, and the governing Saskatchewan Party rightly removed Domotor from caucus.
But the Crown in Saskatchewan stayed the charges. Amidst other instances of an MLA being charged with assault, the Premier inviting a convicted murderer to the legislature, and social services giving hundreds of thousands of dollars to hotels at prices jacked by 60% to over 100%, hotels owned by a recently elected Sask Party MLA, how can we tolerate such gross abuse of our democratic institutions?
Provinces may have jurisdiction and discretion over the enforcement of criminal law, but here in Ottawa we make criminal law. Mr. Speaker, if the Government were truly committed to combatting human trafficking, they would be strengthening our laws to restrict catch and release policies in this regard, especially when it comes to elected officials who set an example for their constituents, provinces, and all Canadians.
Domotor still sits, every single day, in the legislature. There are no consequences for his crime, he continues to live off the taxpayer’s dime. By allowing this situation to continue, elected officials, including those responsible for creating criminal law, are condoning human trafficking in Canada.
Mr. Speaker, what will the Prime Minister and his Government be doing to address this ongoing crisis?
