Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre said he's putting forward a bill to improve the Canadian justice system. .“And today, we propose an end to the catch and release parole system,” said Poilievre in a Thursday video. .“We are going to bring jail, not bail.” .The video starts off with Poilievre offering his condolences to Surete du Quebec Sgt. Maureen Breau, who was murdered a few days before. He called this murder “part of a wave of crime and chaos, drugs and disorder, that are the obvious consequences of the policies of Justin Trudeau and the NDP.” .The Conservative leader went on to say the catch and release bail system which allows repeat violent offenders to be freed multiple times has led to chaos. He said flooding the streets with decriminalized drugs has led to an overdose crisis across Canada. .Poilievre recounted violent crimes which took place in the last week, including that of a 16-year-old boy who was killed Saturday while waiting in a subway station in Toronto. .The suspect had an extensive criminal history, which included assaulting a man with a box cutter. He was on probation in 2022. .A 37-year-old man was stabbed in broad daylight in front of his wife and children in Vancouver. The killer had a history of violent behaviour and was found not criminally responsible in five cases in nine years. .Poilievre said the Liberals and NDP flooded the streets with repeat dangerous offenders..The Conservatives pledged an end to Canada’s catch and release bail system. This bill will ban, rather than hand out, drugs. .He said they will bring people into treatment. His government will make Big Pharma pay for it after it launches a $45 billion lawsuit for kicking off the opioid crisis. .Poilievre concluded by saying it is time to “bring home common sense, bring home safe streets.” .“And that’s exactly what I’ll do as prime minister," he said. .Poilievre said Monday repeat offenders are mocking police officers because Canada’s bail system releases them quickly. .READ MORE: WATCH: Poilievre says criminals laughing at Canada’s bail system.“This is an obvious result of when Trudeau brought in a system that lets people out automatically, even if they have dozens of prior offences,” he said. .Poilievre said the Conservatives will bring in bail reform “so that if you have a long rap sheet of violent offences and you’re newly arrested for a serious crime, you stay behind bars until your trial is held and your sentence is complete.”
