Questions on Promised Legislation
12:50 pm

Under promised criminal justice legislation, it is widely known that there is an increase of over 14% in violent crime in this country. In my own town of Dundalk, we witnessed the stabbing and killing of Yosuke Sasaki, which made the headlines around the world. In this last month, five people have died as a result of stabbings. I am asking that in the criminal justice legislation we provide for zero tolerance, no bail and mandatory sentencing for anybody convicted of a crime relating to use of weapons such as knives and guns. I am asking that those provisions be brought to this House. What is happening is intolerable.
Allied to that is the fact that a migrant can move freely with no papers, as is the case-----
