Chair, I would like to move a motion that was tabled by my colleague, Frank Caputo, on November 20, 2025.
The motion reads:
That the committee report to the House its grave concern about the rise of extortion, which is up 330% across Canada since 2015, including a 400% spike in British Columbia and a 500% increase in the Lower Mainland, and the committee further report its recommendation that the federal government to use every tool at their disposal, including tougher sentences, more restrictive bail provisions and other measures to crack down on organized crime to protect Canadians, their property and their businesses.
This should have been brought forward to everybody in both languages. I just want to confirm that.
I would like to continue and say a couple of words.
