Thank you very much.
Since 2015, violent crime has increased by 55%; homicides by 30%; sexual assaults by 76%; crimes committed with firearms by 130%; vehicle thefts by 25%; and extortion by 330%. I could go on and on.
I can’t wait for people to wake up to this, to talk about victims’ rights and to determine how to make them a priority. Several bills on this subject have been introduced in the House of Commons, but they have died on the Order Paper. That’s a shame. Let’s take stock of what is currently happening in Quebec, which has seen its 15th femicide since the beginning of 2025. I don’t know how many more there will be.
Thank you, Madam Chair.
