Mr. Speaker, Canada now has the dubious distinction of having a violent crime rate even higher than the United States. Just yesterday, two people were wounded in a stabbing attack in Vancouver. It is like Canadians have become numb to these stories. It is almost like they expect them day to day.
Liberals have presided over a 92% increase in gang-related murders since they took office. Child sexual abuse and exploitation material offences are up 52% since just last year. Police chiefs are calling out the Prime Minister for allowing extremely violent repeat offenders out on bail. It is not just about the numbers. On the other side of each crime statistic is a victim whose life has been changed forever. These people usually remain nameless, voiceless and faceless.
This is the Prime Minister's track record. This is why we need an election now. I can promise this: Unlike the Prime Minister, a Conservative government would fight for the nameless, voiceless and faceless.
