Mr. Speaker, in this country, extortion is taken very seriously. When extortion is committed, someone could serve life in prison according to the sentence in the Criminal Code of Canada. What is really important when it comes to the extortion crisis is solving extortion before charges are laid.
Police across this country are asking for lawful access provisions so they can investigate these cases appropriately. Who is against that? It is the Conservatives. Why will they not give law enforcement the tools they need to crack down on extortions?
