Mr. Speaker, Canadians want safe neighbourhoods in which families and businesses can thrive.
Last week, I was proud to join my B.C. colleagues in Surrey for an echo announcement highlighting our government’s new steps to combat crime. These measures include tougher bail conditions for repeat violent offenders, stronger penalties for organized retail theft and the addition of 1,000 new RCMP personnel across the country. This investment will help ensure that fast-growing communities like Surrey have the resources needed to keep pace with growth and protect public safety.
Our government is listening to Canadians, supporting law enforcement and taking real action to keep our streets and communities safe.
