Mr. Speaker, we are happy to see that the bill to provide harsher punishments for identity theft crimes will soon become law.
This is yet another achievement that shows that our Conservative government works very hard when it comes to protecting Canadians.
Our greatest duty is to protect all Canadians, to protect who they are: unique individuals, whose identities are theirs alone.
Crime is always evolving. Violence often changes form, but we are confident that we are taking a big step forward with the enactment of this legislation, and we are not stopping there.
This bill is one more tool to help the police and the courts protect personal information. It updates the types of offences in the Criminal Code, and addresses traffic in identity information and traffic in government-issued identity documents.
With the support of all the parties, we are able to implement bills where immediate action is needed, because our Conservative government is responsible for you and for future generations.
