Mr. Speaker, our Conservative government is committed to keeping Canada safe and secure from radical extremists who wish to harm us and our way of life.
That is why yesterday the Minister of Public Safety listed the Hamas-linked group IRFAN-Canada as a terrorist entity under the Criminal Code. This builds on our government's strong national security record that includes passing the Combatting Terrorism Act, investing nearly a quarter of a billion dollars in protecting Canadians from hacking and cyberespionage, and removing over 115,000 illegal immigrants since being elected in 2006.
Contrast this with the Liberals, whose leader mused about compassion for terrorists who bombed the Boston Marathon just over a year ago and whose public safety spokesman, the member for Malpeque, opposed listing Hezbollah as a terrorist entity.
This type of reckless national security policy shows the leader of the Liberal Party is just in over his head.
