I want to take this opportunity to wish them the best of luck in their upcoming nuptials, and a long, fruitful life
Mr. Speaker, Liberal parole is out of control. The family of Constable Todd Baylis and the Toronto Police Association recently asked for parole reform. The victim's family has to go to parole hearings every two years. A Conservative bill would have changed that to every five years, and yet the Liberals voted against it. Will the Liberals listen to the family of Constable Baylis and the Toronto
Mr. Speaker, what an out-of-touch answer. Unlike that minister, I was a parole officer. Unlike that minister, I attended Constable Baylis's killer's parole hearing. Unlike that minister, I voted to change the hearing interval from two years to five years. If that minister wants to put his money where his mouth is, I have a proposal. Why does he not join me, Constable Baylis's family and the

Mr. Speaker, I want to recognize Diane Czyzewski and Celeste Fummerton, who have gotten behind the tin cup movement in Kamloops—Thompson—Nicola.

Mr. Speaker, it is always a pleasure to rise on behalf of the people of Kamloops—Thompson—Nicola. I welcome everybody back to Parliament. The first petition I wish to table is one that is very close to my heart.

With the greatest of respect to my colleague, I have
Minister of Public Safety C-22 Mr. Speaker, “collaboratively” is the word used by theas to how he would work with Conservatives on Billamendments, and yet the government is insisting on using its manufactured majority to now ram this bill through Parliament. C-22 Make no mistake: Conservatives want to put the bad folks in jail. We would pass part 1 of the bill swiftly, but Canadians have
I request a recorded vote for something that is really important.
