Mr. Speaker, I listened closely to what the parliamentary secretary had to say, but I take issue with a couple of points.
The government is, in fact, cancelling effective programs on the crime prevention side. The parliamentary secretary claims, and this is often the way that the Conservative government works, that the government is restoring funding. Yes, it has restored funding, but the problem is that the funding ends on March 31, 2015. That is just restoring temporary funding and letting a program drop that is in fact successful and seen as a model around the world in reducing recidivism for serious sexual offences. That kind of program is making streets safer.
I ask the parliamentary secretary again. Will the government restore funding long-term? I am not talking about these halfway measures that it uses to try to let on that it is doing something, when really it is not.
