Part 4/9:
A darker tone emerged from the Honorable member for Barrie-Springwater-Oro-Medonte, who criticized the government for rising violent crime rates, claiming a 50% increase since the current Liberal administration took power. He attributed this rise to “soft on crime” policies, such as the repeal of mandatory minimum sentences. He called for a return to a conservative government that prioritizes tougher sentencing and public safety.
