But here's the reality right now in
0:02
Canada. Violent crime up 50% in this
0:05
country. Homicides up 28%.
0:08
Sexual assaults up 74%.
0:15
Extortion a whopping 357%.
0:20
Gang related homicides up 78%.
0:23
Violent crimes with guns up 116%.
0:28
Terrorism charges up 488%
0:32
and hate crimes have more than tripled.
0:35
Those are the tragic stats that show the
0:38
disheartening reality right now in this
0:40
country. And while the crime crisis
0:42
sweeps across our country, what this
0:45
bill really does beneath all the legal
0:48
jargon and bureaucratic language is keep
0:50
the worst parts of the Liberals's
0:53
justice record firmly intact. It keeps
0:56
Bill 75, the law that tied the hands of
0:59
police and prosecutors and told judges
1:02
to favor release over detention even
1:04
when dealing with repeat violent
1:06
offenders. It keeps the so-called
1:08
principle of restraint that's allowed
1:11
known gang members, gun criminals, and
1:13
repeat abusers to walk free before even
1:16
officers finish their paperwork. It told
1:19
Canadians that violent history doesn't
1:21
matter, that past behavior shouldn't
1:23
prejudice future bail decisions, and
1:26
what has been the result? Repeat
1:28
offenders back on our streets. Arrests
1:30
made in the morning, criminals out
1:32
before the officer even finishes their
1:34
shift. But the bill doesn't touch that
1:36
law. It keeps it in place. And by doing
1:39
so, it keeps that revolving door
