Madam Speaker, after 10 years of the Stephen Harper Conservative majority, there were almost 1,700 more CBSA workers than when he started and an additional half-billion dollars of investment. That is the Harper record. At the same time, we balanced the budget and decreased crime by 20%. Contrast that with the Liberals' record, with an increase of violent crime of 50% and the largest debt of all prime ministers before them combined. I will take our record any day.
