Mr. Speaker, unfortunately that was another Liberal speech that, instead of discussing foreign interference by India and the very serious allegations against that country, was more concerned about the opposition leader.
My question for the member is this: He comes from an area where extortion has risen by hundreds of per cent. I have gone there many times and heard from Canadians who are concerned about extortion. Part of that, as we have heard from the RCMP, is linked to Indian organized crime. There is no minimum mandatory penalty for extortion. Extortion has gone up under the current government, yet the member and his party did not support a private member's bill that would have actually handed out stronger sentences for extortionists. Why?
