Soft-on-Crime Liberals gut Conservative Crime Bill C-15
Ottawa –
Brian Storseth, Member of Parliament for Westlock – St. Paul, was disappointed to see
that Michael Ignatieff’s own unelected, unaccount
able Liberal Senators have, once again,
weakened the Conservative Government’s
action to get tough on crime.
“Once again, Ignatieff’s Liberals have put the inte
rests of criminals that sell drugs to kids ahead
of victims” said Storseth. “Canadians are fed up
with unelected Liberal Senators standing in the
way of action to protect victims and get tough
on dangerous criminals. C-15 would have cracked
down on these criminals, ensuring mandatory ja
il time for serious drug offences that involve
organized crime, violence, or preying on youth.”
Bill C-15,An Act to amend the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act and to make related and consequential amendments to other Acts, was introduced in the House of Commons on 27 February 2009 by the Minister of Justice. Its intention was to provide for minimum penalties for serious drug offences, such as dealing drugs for organized crime purposes or when a weapon or violence is involved. Currently, there are no mandatory minimum penalties under the CDSA. The bill also increases the maximum penalty for cannabis production.Liberals in the Senate passed an amendment to Bill C-15 which removes the mandatory penalty aimed at targeting drug producers caught with anywhere between 5 to 200 marijuana plants for the purpose of trafficking. Bill C-15, which has been held up in the Senate since June, will now have to go back to the House of Commons when the session resumes in the new year. C-15 was another Bill in a long line of tough on crime measures that have been introduced by the Conservatives since first coming to power in 2006.
