Madam Speaker, after nine years of this Liberal government, we find that the mess it has made at our borders is alarming.
The Liberals are creating chaos, and Canadians are paying the price. The Liberal Prime Minister decided to fling Canada's doors wide open in 2016, with no controls whatsoever. This has resulted in a broken immigration system, growing tensions at the border, and now threats from the U.S. involving crippling tariffs for Canada if the government does not do more to secure its borders.
Criminals have taken over, with human smuggling rings charging $5,000 per person for illegal crossings. This government has failed in its fundamental duty to protect our borders and keep Canadians safe.
Canadians deserve better. They deserve a strong prime minister who will take meaningful action to defend Canada's interests. Ensuring the safety of Canadians cannot wait any longer. It is time for the Liberal government to deliver the only thing Canadians want now, and that is an election.
