Speech: Bill C-14: A missed opportunity to keep Canadians safe.

November 19, 2025

While there are some beams of light in Liberal bill C-14 that attempt to break through the stormy skies of the last decade of a soft-on-crime agenda, it still comes up short.

The fact is that dangerous elements of Liberal ideology on crime and punishment, ushered in by C-5 and C-75, remain.

C-14 is truly a missed opportunity to toughen up penalties and restore jail – not bail – for serious violent offences.
