Housing  Mr. Speaker, there is “not a chance” that the housing minister will reach his housing target promises. That is a direct quote from Richard Lyall, president of the Residential Construction Council of Ontario. He testified yesterday at the Standing Committee on Human Resources, Skills and Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities.

Housing  Mr. Speaker, after nine years of the NDP-Liberal government, Canadians are hungry and homeless. In the Minister of Housing's own backyard, 10 people are going homeless every single week. One in four Canadians feels they do not even have enough money to live. Canadians are spending 64% of their income on housing, which under the Prime Minister has doubled.

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, the Liberals promised to review the Canadian Victims Bill of Rights, which was created by former prime minister Stephen Harper. They have never done this. Victims deserve a date, and they deserve it right now. When will it be reviewed, and when will victims come first in Canada?

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, how many years ago did he promise to enforce and to review the Canadian Victims Bill of Rights?

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, in 2020 that was promised, and it has never been done. There is no authority specifically dedicated to ensuring the implementation of the Canadian Victims Bill of Rights. Victims must rely on the Office of the Federal Ombudsperson for Victims of Crime. Does he think that is fair for victims?

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, they were called to do a review in 2020 on behalf of victims everywhere. What a shameful representation from the Minister of Justice that this Canadian Victims Bill of Rights has never been reviewed. I ask the minister today, he is the Minister of Justice, to name the four issues that have been asked to be reviewed, because in this country, criminals have more rights than victims.

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, it is absolutely desperate and pathetic, and that is a shameful response. This is my last question. The minister says he is so concerned about Bill C-63, which he is in charge of bringing forward to the House. If it so important to protect children, why has he not done it?

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, we have an increase of 815% under this minister's watch involving online sexual luring. He is trying to distract. He does not want to answer the questions. He is the one who brought up his proverbial Bill C-63 that is going to solve all these problems. He said Canada is not unsafe, yet we have stats that show an increase of 101% increase in gun crime.

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, I will ask, right now, for the minister to redeem himself just a tiny bit and to give a date when he will review the Canadian Victims Bill of Rights so that victims' rights are actually enforced in Canada. What is the date, please?

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, on what date did the minister say, “empirically it's unlikely” that Canada is less safe?

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, I should also say that I will be splitting my time with the member for Durham. I will be taking 10 minutes. I will ask this one more time to the minister: On what date did he say publicly that “empirically it's unlikely” that Canada is less safe?

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, just for fun, I will ask one more time. On what date did the Minister of Justice publicly say that “empirically it's unlikely” that Canada is less safe? These are his words. On what day did he say it?

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, it was the Minister of Justice for Canada, and he actually said that on July 31, 2023. How many Ontario municipalities have declared intimate partner violence an epidemic?

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, how many Ontario municipalities have declared intimate partner violence an epidemic?

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, is it not interesting that the minister says that, yet he also said that it is empirically unlikely that Canada is less safe? It is 94 municipalities. In Ontario, how many women were killed in a 30-week window between 2022 and 2023?
