LIBERAL POLICIES PROVIDE ADDICTS WITH DRUGS

In a recent letter to the editor, Vaughan Harris shared the view of
many of my Liberal colleagues in Ottawa when it comes to crime. While
the Liberal Party is always concerned with the rights of criminals,
law-abiding citizens are increasingly being victimized.

A young woman from Saskatchewan has taken the unusual step of suing
her old drug dealer because he is now back on the streets.

The Liberals provide mobile units in Vancouver to ensure no heroin
addict must go without their fix. They want to legalize marijuana and
recently refused to raise the age of consent to protect children
under the age of 16 from adult exploiters.

Talk to someone who has been the victim of a crime committed by a
young offender. Police officers will be only too happy to relay their
frustrations with this government's legislation.

A Conservative government will pass mandatory minimums so that
criminals committing crimes with a gun won't be out on the streets
the next day as Toronto residents saw this summer.

As a former volunteer trained in crisis intervention, I've spent too
many hours with raped woman who have been the victims of repeat offenders.

I will not apologize for the proposals of the Conservative Party. Law
abiding citizens deserve to know their government is working to
protect them and keep them safe especially from repeat offenders.
